Tap to view the map at full size.

As of Monday, August 28 at 2:20 p.m., the prediction is that Hurricane Idalia will get close enough to us to start being a problem around Tuesday evening. There’s a good chance that non-online events (and possibly online ones as well) will be canceled. Check the page for your event and or contact the organizers for any event you want to attend — and if it’s storming outside, stay home!

Civo doesn’t just throw amazing conferences here in Tampa Bay,
they’re also a great, developer-friendly cloud-native service provider!

Tuesday, August 29

⚠️ Please note that the effects of Hurricane Idalia may start reaching Tampa Bay Tuesday evening. It might be a good idea to cancel any in-person get-together plans for the next couple of days.

Tuesday morning will start with Computer Coach’s Suzanne Ricci’s “Ask a Coach” session, where she’ll answer your burning career questions while forging meaningful connections and gaining invaluable insights to drive your professional growth. Find out more and register here.

On Tuesday at noon, CoreX Legal will host an online webinar titled Ownability: How Intellectual Property Works … and Why It Matters. Brent Britton will cover intellectual property (IP) — trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets. Its rules determine who owns your creations and whether or not you can prevent other people from copying them. If you work in a creative or innovative field, you should know enough about IP to make intelligent decisions about your job or business. You should understand the ownability of your own ability. Find out more and register here.

Also on Tuesday at noon: Women Who Code’s global team and partner panel from Block will have an online session where the speakers will talk about their experiences in constantly evolving careers while highlighting stories around their global impact through creating global access to economic empowerment.

About this list

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:

  • Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
  • Tech project management / agile processes
  • Video, board, and role-playing games
  • Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
  • Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
  • Toastmasters (because nerds really need to up their presentation game)
  • Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
  • Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
  • Anything I deem geeky
