Trucks & Tech hosted its third annual Truckpocalypse event on Thursday, taking over Lake Eola Park with roaming zombies, tech-focused discussions and food trucks.

Discussion panels featured the latest information from the inside world of crowdfunding, kickstarters and tech-marketing strategies so attendees could walk away with the information they need to create their own inventions and apps and get them out into the world.

To find tweets from last night’s event, search for #trucksandtech. The group is also on Facebook and Instagram.
