9 Delaware tech meetups came together for Girl Develop It’s Super Meetup

Girl Develop It Wilmington hosted a Super Meetup last night with eight other local groups for a packed session of networking at 1313 Innovation’s coworking space.

One of the earliest tech meetups featured was Delaware Tech Meetup, organized by Start It Up Delaware back in 2011.

The night was sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and Zip Code Wilmington, which is headed by a new leader who seems to be keeping good on her word for more community outreach.
All in all, the event got people excited about the Delaware tech scene.

Feeling super pumped about the tech scene in Delaware after tonight's #SuperMeetup16 with NINE groups! 💪🏼 and of course @gdiwilm !! 💁🏻📱💻

It all capped off with what 1313 Innovation community manager Megan Anthony-Keogh calls “a chant for the next #netde super meetup.”

When I say, "meet" you say, "up" – Oh yes, we now have a chant for the next #netde super meetup! Thanks everyone! pic.twitter.com/k35GXN5bmp
