Category: Current Events

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to gather Tampa Bay’s various tech meetups in a single place, but that’s exactly what’s happening at Armature Works on Wednesday, December 8th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.:

The End of Year Tech Meetup Extravaganza!

The folks at Computer Coach (who are also behind a number of great meetups that happen every week) are putting it together, and these Tampa Bay meetups will be there:

• Tampa Tech Career Advice Forum
• Tampa Bay AWS User Group
• Tampa Bay Azure User Group
• Tech4Good Tampa
• High Tech Connect
• LinkedIn Local Tampa Bay
• Computer Coach
• HireUP Florida
• Think like a Coder
• Coders, Creatives, and Craft Beer
• InfraGard Tampa
• Blacks in Technology Tampa

From the organizers:

Our end-of-year extravaganza is casual and open to all! Cash bar, great conversations, and networking, networking, networking!

This will be an outdoor event – please take any covid-19 precautions you feel necessary to be safe and have fun!

It’s free to attend, and it’s a great opportunity to network, catch up with old friends, and make new ones! I’ll be attending, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Register for the End of Year Tech Meetup Extravaganza here.

Here’s your weekly list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events — plus a little area tech news — for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, November 22 through Sunday, November 28, 2021.

This is a weekly service from Tampa Bay’s tech blog, Global Nerdy! For the past four years, I’ve been compiling a list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events happening in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. There’s a lot going on in our scene here in “The Other Bay Area, on the Other West Coast”!

As far as event types go, this list casts a rather wide net. It includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under the category of:

• 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
• Anything I deem geeky

By “Tampa Bay and surrounding areas”, 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 week’s events

This list includes in-person events as well as online events. The COVID-19 numbers are dropping sharply, but be smart and responsible — get your shots, mask up in crowds, and we can get back to what passes for normal sooner!

Keep in mind that this the week of Thanksgiving. The closer an event is to Thanksgiving Day, the more you should double-check that it’s actually happening. Many fo the events in LinkedIn and EventBrite are generated “on autopilot” and might not account for holidays.

I try to keep this list up-to-date. I add new events as soon as I hear about them, so be sure to check this page often!

Do you have any events or announcements that you’d like to see on this list?

Let me know at joey@joeydevilla.com!

Join the mailing list!

If you’d like to get this list in your email inbox every week, enter your email address below. You’ll only be emailed once a week, and the email will contain this list, plus links to any interesting news, upcoming events, and tech articles. Join the Tampa Bay Tech Events list and always be informed of what’s coming up in Tampa Bay!

Here’s your weekly list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events — plus a little area tech news — for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, November 1 through Sunday, November 7, 2021.

This is a weekly service from Tampa Bay’s tech blog, Global Nerdy! For the past four years, I’ve been compiling a list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events happening in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. There’s a lot going on in our scene here in “The Other Bay Area, on the Other West Coast”!

As far as event types go, this list casts a rather wide net. It includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under the category of:

• 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
• Anything I deem geeky

By “Tampa Bay and surrounding areas”, 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 week’s events

This list includes in-person events as well as online events. The COVID-19 numbers are dropping sharply, but be smart and responsible — get your shots, mask up in crowds, and we can get back to what passes for normal sooner!

I try to keep this list up-to-date. I add new events as soon as I hear about them, so be sure to check this page often!
