Welcome to the third week of 2021! Here’s your list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for the Tampa Bay area for the week of Monday, January 18 through Sunday, January 24, 2020.
“Tampa Bay area” means “Within 100 miles of the Port of Tampa”
By “Tampa Bay”, this list covers events that originate or are aimed at the area within 100 miles of the Port of Tampa. At the very least, that includes the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, but as far north as Ocala, as far south as Fort Myers, and includes Orlando and its surrounding cities.
This list is sticking to online events for now
For the time being, this list will include only those events that can be attended online because…
- 1 in 14 Americans has contracted COVID-19 (23.6 million cases out of a population of 328 million, which is 1 million more than last week).
- 1 in 835 Americans has died from COVID-19 (393,000 dead out of a population of 328 million, which is 20,000 more than last week).
…and we’re still experiencing a post-holiday spike that has a number of ICUs across the country running at maximum capacity.
We live in the age of broadband and ubiquitous computing — make the best use of it. Stay safe, stay connected, skill up, and #MakeItTampaBay!
