Since its inception in 2009, Brooklyn's Northside Festival has grown up every year, transforming into a filled-out, four day, multi-disciplinary event that takes over most of Williamsburg and Greenpoint.In addition to the film and music portions of the event, this year Northside will feature the inaugural run of the Northside Entrepreneurship and Technology Conference, or NExT. Originally started in 2011 as the small scale Northside Ideas, NExT is a full blown two day tech affair, offering badge holders access to product demos, panel discussions, and business presentations from both established and up-and-coming business leaders—NOTHING like SXSW.Click through for a look at what's happening this year.With Christopher Robbins and Gabrielle Sierra
