Great news — the meetups that Anitra and I co-organize…
are the recipients of Embarc Collective’s and Bank of America’s Tampa Bay Tech Meetup Scholarship!
For 2025, this scholarship will make it much easier for us to organize our meetups. It will provide…
- Dedicated Space: One of the challenges of running a meetup is getting a space to hold them. Embarc Collective has amazing event spaces right in downtown Tampa, close to the interstate, and well-suited for tech meetups. Being able to host our meetups at Embarc is a really big help!
- Financial Support: The costs of renting premium spaces like those in Embarc Collective and feeding attendees are also a challenge for non-corporate meetup organizers like us. The financial support from the Scholarship is invaluable.
- Community Connection: Embarc Collective is one of the hubs of Tampa Bay’s tech ecosystem, and having their community connections will help us take our meetups to the next level.
Our first meetup to take place at Embarc Collective will be the Tampa Bay AI Meetup’s Build an AI job application helper app, which will happen on Monday, March 17 from 6 – 8 p.m.. We’re working on a date for the Suncoast Software Skills Meetup event, so watch this space!
We’d like to thank Embarc Collective and Bank of America for creating the Scholarship and for selecting our Meetups to be recipients. We’re going to put on some great meetups this year!
