Technical.ly’s mission is focused on bringing communities together. The same could be said of Meetup. But how do you get all of a city’s niche tech meetups together in one place for one purpose? You create a Super Meetup.
The idea of the Super Meetup is simple: Meetup groups are integral to any tech scene. Every now and then, it makes sense to rally the leaders of a city’s tech-related meetups and gather for one big mixer. It’s a chance to make new friends, forge new connections and see who’s working on cool stuff.
Super Meetup goes down Wednesday, Aug. 2, from 6–9 p.m. at Work & Co’s gorgeous office space located at 231 Front St.
RVSP“Meetups are a defining part of New York’s tech community,” said Work & Co Principal Developer Fernando Andrade. “Connecting with new people and gaining fresh perspectives and approaches is super valuable.”
