More than 300 guests joined the NYU-Poly community at the inaugeral i²e Gala, held on the 61st floor of the Empire State Building. 

Taking its name from NYU-Poly’s guiding principles of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship (or i²e), the event celebrated those ideals by honoring Glenn Britt, chairman and CEO of Time Warner Cable (TWC), and Paul Soros, founder of Soros Associates. The gala also recognized the winners of the Inno/Vention contest, which concluded earlier that day.
