Kenji Summers Digs Into DUMBO With the Nerdies* in Charge

The Digital District is having their monthly meet-up tonight, making the timing of this Huffington Post article on the subject perfect. You already know what the Digital District is (since we told you about it in late January). And the CMOs know about it too, thanks to the Wall Street Journal. Planning up-and-comer Kenji Summers has rounded out the coverage with a HuffPo piece that digs into co-founder Andrew Zarick* (The Jar Group) and Digital Dumbo co-chair Kaitlin Villanova‘s (Carrot Creative) roles.

Zarick: “Honestly when it started we never thought it would be this big this soon so given how many people want to be involved in the event and especially Kaitlin stepping up we have had conversations about turning this into a nonprofit and giving back to the community not just necessarily this community but even the digital community as a whole. We are still planning how we want to go about that process, we need to get the infrastructure in place to have that happen. We just recently acquired DigitalDumbo.com so we’re gonna launch that soon hopefully (DigitalDumbo.com is launched as of press time).”

Update: I’m reminded that we were not the first to cover the Digital District. Kelly Samardak from MediaPost was all over it before things were official.
