What’s happening in the Tampa Bay tech/entrepreneur/nerd scene (Week of Monday, September 23, 2019)

Tampa is the best small tech market in North America, and if you look at what techies are doing here — largely in their spare time, week after week — you’ll see why. They’re getting together, sharing their knowledge, exchanging ideas, hatching plans, helping each other, making friends, and building a community.

Here’s what’s happening in Tampa Bay this week!

This weekly list is posted as a voluntary service to the Tampa tech community. With the notable exceptions of Tampa iOS Meetup and Coders, Creatives and Craft Beer — both of which I run — most of this information comes from Meetup.com, EventBrite, and other local event announcement sites. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of the dates and times listed here; if you want to be absolutely sure that the event you’re interested in is actually taking place, please contact the organizers!

New Meetup groups

A couple of new techie- and nerd-related meetup groups were announced this week:

  • Tampa HashiCorp User Group: “This group is a place to meet other developers and ops engineers using HashiCorp tools! HashiCorp enables orgs to provision, secure, and run any infrastructure for any application. DevOps engineers use the HashiCorp product suite of Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, Vault, Nomad, and Consul on a daily basis. We want to get these people together to share experiences.”
  • Star Wars Card Collector Tampa: “To swap physical cards and geek out about anything StarWars.”

Upcoming events

  • BarCamp Tampa Bay 2019: Tampa Bay’s biggest unconference! Imagine a conference where there are no scheduled talks until the day it happens, and those talks are scheduled and given by the attendees. There are no spectators — we’re all participants! That’s BarCamp in a nutshell. BarCamp happens on Saturday, October 5th at Keiser University Tampa.
  • Tampa Community Connect: You may know Tampa’s annual community tech conference by its old name, Tampa Code Camp, but like the initials, it’s the event you know and love! Come to this all-day event and sharpen your hard and soft techie skills. Tampa Community Connect happens on Saturday, October 26th at Keiser University Tampa.
