Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, August 28 through Sunday, September 3, 2023.
Update [Monday, August 28 @ 2:20 p.m.] Hurricane watch!
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!

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.

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
