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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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

Wednesday, March 20

This particular Wednesday is packed with events, one of which is mine!

8:00 a.m., online: Data, Cloud and AI in Tampa present Living with Autonomous AI. This one’s about how “Robots with Autonomy” will likely play an important role in creating a sustainable future in areas such as maintaining our built environment, keeping a rapidly ageing population secure in their homes or keeping degraded land due to climate change productive.

2:00 p.m., online: Gen AI Tampa’s first meetup — Revolutionizing Predictive Models with Generative AI-Driven Feature. Extract new value from your predictive models with this expert panel, tailored to data executives. Join them for an insightful exploration of how Generative AI is reshaping feature engineering, automating the discovery of key variables, and elevating the performance of predictive models.

5:30 p.m., in-person at the Entrepreneur Collaborative Center, Tampa: Computer Coach presents A look at Diversity Equity & Inclusion in 2024! Join Computer Coach for a thought-provoking and insightful panel discussion as we delve into the dynamic landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in 2024. In a world that continues to evolve rapidly, our understanding and approach to fostering diversity, ensuring equity, and promoting inclusion are more crucial than ever.

6:30 p.m. in-person at Kforce, Tampa: Tampa Bay AI Meetup presents How to build AI applications with Python and LangChain. Learn how to build an AI application using Python and LangChain. You’ll see how LangChain can help you build more sophisticated AI applications that can use additional data sources, “remember” what you told it previously, and provide structured output that your application can use. We think this session will take your AI app development to a whole new level!

7:00 p.m., in-person: CitySec is an unaffiliated collection of informal meetups for like-minded security professionals. CitySec groups meet to discuss topics of interest in a non-work, non-vendor setting; preferably while drinking.
