A day of inspiration, education, virtual reality and drones. And let's not forget Ben Angel's team covering it all.

In this video, the Entrepreneur Network partner and marketing expert gives a run-down of Propeller Festival 2016, a showcase of the future of tech and innovation held this year in Hoboken, N.J. on May 20. The day kicked off with presentations on two stages -- the stage of inspiration and the stage of wisdom with speakers like the ever-energetic multi-facited serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk.

"When you're at the top or doing well, you're only as good as your last at-bat," he said at the festival. "It doesn't matter that I've been good at business for 20 years -- if I suck in 2017 and 2018, I'm going to lose."

Other noted speakers included Ana Mahony, general manager of Uber, N.J., Peter Shankman, founder of HARO (Help a Reporter Out), Amy Vernon of Daily Dot and many others. Click play to find out more of what you missed!
