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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for Monday, February 5 through Sunday, February 11, 2024!

This week’s events

• Monday, February 5
• Tuesday, February 6
• Wednesday, February 7
• Thursday, February 8
• Friday, February 9
• Saturday, February 10
• Sunday, February 11

Monday, February 5

On Monday at 5:30 p.m. at Brick House Tavern and Tap, there’ll be an in-person session about volunteering at the Synapse Summit conference (taking place on Wednesday, February 28 at Amelie Arena). It’s a way to attend Tampa Bay’s largest tech conference for free!

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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for Monday, January 29 through Sunday, February 4, 2024!

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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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

Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for Monday, January 22 through Sunday, January 28, 2024!

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 scrapes 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 judgment 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 and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, 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
