22 Events for your April calendars

This month (in just a few days!) there will be a solar eclipse passing close to Delaware. It’s fair to say that’s probably the biggest event of the month, but it’s not the only one by a long shot.

We’ve rounded up almost two dozen of them, from webinars to networking events, job fairs and conferences.

Are you part of our Slack community yet?

If your workplace uses Slack, you might consider it a chore. We’re here to tell you that’s not what Technical.ly’s Slack is all about. Recent threads have included a civilized debate about remote work, and the disparity between UK and US tech salaries. In one ongoing thread, a developer is documenting a side project coding a site to show how many homes are without electricity during storms. You’ll find job opportunities and event listings, too.

With more than 4,900 members, it’s an online hub for the tech and entrepreneurship community — and you’re invited to join.
