Every week, I compile a list of events for developers, technologists, tech entrepreneurs, and nerds in and around the Tampa Bay area. We’ve got a lot of events going on this week, and here they are!
This weekly list is posted as a voluntary service to the Tampa tech community. With the notable exceptions of Tampa iOS Meetup and Coders, Creatives and Craft Beer — both of which I run — most of this information comes from Meetup.com, EventBrite, and other local event announcement sites. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of the dates and times listed here; if you want to be absolutely sure that the event you’re interested in is actually taking place, please contact the organizers!
A holiday reminder
Keep in mind that this is a holiday week, with the 4th of July happening on Thursday. Event announcement services like Meetup have a tendency to automatically schedule recurring events without regard for holidays. If the event you want to attend happens on or near the 4th, you might want to double-check with the organizers and confirm that the event is actually happening.
