Every week, I compile a list of events for developers, technologists, tech entrepreneurs, and nerds in and around the Tampa Bay area. It’s the holidays, so there aren’t as many ones this week, but there are still some happening!
Before you decide to attend an event on this list, it might be a good idea to double-check with the organizers that it’s actually happening. Event announcement systems like Meetup get a little ambitious, and once they notice a pattern in an event’s schedule (say, the last Tuesday of every month), they get a little ambitious and try to pre-schedule events.
