This event is being sponsored by: Nitto Avecia
Nitto Avecia, an industry leader in the development and manufacture of innovative oligonucleotide therapeutics, is excited to sponsor the first WaterFire Event of 2014. Nitto Avecia is headquartered in Milford, Massachusetts, and we look for opportunities to support local organizations and charities whenever possible. With the TIDES conference located in Providence this year we were happy to sponsor WaterFire, as we believe this event will benefit the City of Providence and be enjoyed by our friends and clients at the conference.
Event Schedule:

I've worked at WaterFire Providence since 2003. For the first 9 years of my career, I worked in the Production Shop learning all of the details that go into the physical production of the event. In 2012 transitioned to the role of managing WaterFire's social media and web presence. I now head up WaterFire Providence's digital projects including, web, social, databases, and our physical IT infrastructure.
I will help at the May 14th lighting and again on the 24th. Please email me as I have not received anything.
