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

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

Tampa Bay tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events list (Week of Monday, August 28, 2023) – Hurricane Update

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, August 28 through Sunday, September 3, 2023.

Update [Monday, August 28 @ 2:20 p.m.] Hurricane watch!

From Tampa Bay Times, Monday, August 28, 2:20 p.m.
Tap to view the map at full size.

As of Monday, August 28 at 2:20 p.m., the prediction is that Hurricane Idalia will get close enough to us to start being a problem around Tuesday evening. There’s a good chance that non-online events (and possibly online ones as well) will be canceled. Check the page for your event and or contact the organizers for any event you want to attend — and if it’s storming outside, stay home!

Tuesday, August 29

⚠️ Please note that the effects of Hurricane Idalia may start reaching Tampa Bay Tuesday evening. It might be a good idea to cancel any in-person get-together plans for the next couple of days.

Tuesday morning will start with Computer Coach’s Suzanne Ricci’s “Ask a Coach” session, where she’ll answer your burning career questions while forging meaningful connections and gaining invaluable insights to drive your professional growth. Find out more and register here.

On Tuesday at noon, CoreX Legal will host an online webinar titled Ownability: How Intellectual Property Works … and Why It Matters. Brent Britton will cover intellectual property (IP) — trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets. Its rules determine who owns your creations and whether or not you can prevent other people from copying them. If you work in a creative or innovative field, you should know enough about IP to make intelligent decisions about your job or business. You should understand the ownability of your own ability. Find out more and register here.

Also on Tuesday at noon: Women Who Code’s global team and partner panel from Block will have an online session where the speakers will talk about their experiences in constantly evolving careers while highlighting stories around their global impact through creating global access to economic empowerment. Find out more and register here!

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
