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

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, September 11 through Sunday, September 17, 2023.

This will be the second full week of September, and the Tampa Bay tech community is having some big events this month:

Event	Quick summary	When and where
BSides St. Pete	Deep cybersecurity knowledge will abound, with a full Friday of training sessions and a full Saturday devoted to a Black Hat-style conference.	Friday/Saturday Sept. 15 – 16 St. Petersburg College’s Seminole Campus
DevOpsDays Tampa Bay	A full-day conference dedicated to DevOps (“Dev” as in “software development,” “Ops” and in “IT operations”) in Tampa’s best conference venue.	Thursday, September 21 Armature Works
Navigating Your Tech Journey	An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space.	Tuesday, September 26 Embarc Collective

Want to find out more about what’s happening during the “September to Remember?” I spell it all out in this article.

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

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, September 4 through Sunday, September 10, 2023.

It’s the start of the Tampa Bay tech scene’s “September to Remember!”

This will be the first full week of September, and there are some big events happening this month:

Event	Quick summary	When and where
SocialCode x Tampa	An evening of AI (3 short talks and a panel discussion) and networking in a swanky Hyde Park venue.	Thursday, Sept. 7 Hyde House
BSides St. Pete	Deep cybersecurity knowledge will abound, with a full Friday of training sessions and a full Saturday devoted to a Black Hat-style conference.	Friday/Saturday Sept. 15 – 16 St. Petersburg College’s Seminole Campus
DevOpsDays Tampa Bay	A full-day conference dedicated to DevOps (“Dev” as in “software development,” “Ops” and in “IT operations”) in Tampa’s best conference venue.	Thursday, September 21 Armature Works
Navigating Your Tech Journey	An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space.	Tuesday, September 26 Embarc Collective

Want to find out more about what’s happening during the “September to Remember?” I spell it all out in this article.

This week’s “September to Remember” event is The SocialCode x Tampa, with three fast-moving presentations and a panel discussion on AI. Find out more and register here.

This week’s events

Remember that this is the Labor Day long weekend, so expect things to be a little more quiet on Monday and possibly even Tuesday.

A number of meetup organizers have their announcements posted automatically as “The first Monday of each month,” so if you’re planning on attending a meetup scheduled for Labor Day, check with the organizer to make sure it’s actually happening that day!

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
