Thanks to everyone who came to The SocialCode x Tampa: Embracing the AI Evolution event last Thursday (September 7, 2023) for an evening of presentations and discussion about AI! As promised, here’s a link to the slides for my presentation, Centaurs vs. Minotaurs:
Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, September 11 through Sunday, September 17, 2023.
This will be the second full week of September, and the Tampa Bay tech community is having some big events this month:
| Event | Quick summary | When and where |
| BSides St. Pete | Deep cybersecurity knowledge will abound, with a full Friday of training sessions and a full Saturday devoted to a Black Hat-style conference. | Friday/Saturday Sept. 15 – 16 St. Petersburg College’s Seminole Campus |
| DevOpsDays Tampa Bay | A full-day conference dedicated to DevOps (“Dev” as in “software development,” “Ops” and in “IT operations”) in Tampa’s best conference venue. | Thursday, September 21 Armature Works |
| Navigating Your Tech Journey | An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space. | Tuesday, September 26 Embarc Collective |
Want to find out more about what’s happening during the “September to Remember?” I spell it all out in this article.
On Monday evening, the Tampa Bay Apple Coding Meetup will get together to build a “soundboard” app that plays sounds when you press buttons. Now that Apple has outlawed fart apps, the only way you can get one is by writing your own — and you’ll learn how! Find out more and register here.

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape 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 judgement 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:
Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, September 4 through Sunday, September 10, 2023.
This will be the first full week of September, and there are some big events happening this month:
| Event | Quick summary | When and where |
| SocialCode x Tampa | An evening of AI (3 short talks and a panel discussion) and networking in a swanky Hyde Park venue. | Thursday, Sept. 7 Hyde House |
| BSides St. Pete | Deep cybersecurity knowledge will abound, with a full Friday of training sessions and a full Saturday devoted to a Black Hat-style conference. | Friday/Saturday Sept. 15 – 16 St. Petersburg College’s Seminole Campus |
| DevOpsDays Tampa Bay | A full-day conference dedicated to DevOps (“Dev” as in “software development,” “Ops” and in “IT operations”) in Tampa’s best conference venue. | Thursday, September 21 Armature Works |
| Navigating Your Tech Journey | An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space. | Tuesday, September 26 Embarc Collective |
Want to find out more about what’s happening during the “September to Remember?” I spell it all out in this article.
This week’s “September to Remember” event is The SocialCode x Tampa, with three fast-moving presentations and a panel discussion on AI. Find out more and register here.
Remember that this is the Labor Day long weekend, so expect things to be a little more quiet on Monday and possibly even Tuesday.
A number of meetup organizers have their announcements posted automatically as “The first Monday of each month,” so if you’re planning on attending a meetup scheduled for Labor Day, check with the organizer to make sure it’s actually happening that day!

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape 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 judgement 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:
September starts this week, and each week in this new month has its own big Tampa Bay tech event, with new opportunities to learn, network, make friends, and take part in “The Other Bay Area’s” tech scene!
These events, which are covered in more detail below, are:
| Event | Quick summary | When and where |
| SocialCode x Tampa | An evening of AI (3 short talks and a panel discussion) and networking in a swanky Hyde Park venue. | Thursday, Sept. 7 Hyde House |
| BSides St. Pete | Deep cybersecurity knowledge will abound, with a full Friday of training sessions and a full Saturday devoted to a Black Hat-style conference. | Friday/Saturday Sept. 15 – 16 St. Petersburg College’s Seminole Campus |
| DevOpsDays Tampa Bay | A full-day conference dedicated to DevOps (“Dev” as in “software development,” “Ops” and in “IT operations”) in Tampa’s best conference venue. | Thursday, September 21 Armature Works |
| Navigating Your Tech Journey | An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space. | Tuesday, September 26 Embarc Collective |

| TL;DR: | An evening of AI (3 short talks and a panel discussion) and networking in a swanky Hyde Park venue. |

BSides is the name of a series of cybersecurity conferences that grew from the “overflow presentation” at Black Hat and are now their own thing! The St. Pete edition happens on the weekend of September 15th and 16th, with the training sessions on the 15th and the conference proper on the 16th!

| When: | • Training sessions on Friday, September 15, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. • Conference day on Saturday, September 16, 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. |

The Friday training sessions will be:
The Saturday conference sessions will be:

Hot on the heels of their successful “Breaking into Tech” panel back in late July, Tampa Bay Techies are holding a great follow-up meetup where the topic will be about bridging the opportunity gap in the Tampa Bay technology industry.
| The event: | Navigating Your Tech Journey |
| TL;DR: | An evening of tech career guidance (keynote and panel discussion) and networking at Tampa Bay’s premier tech gathering space. |
| Recommended if you’re: | • Wondering what the next move in your tech career should be (that’s the main topic of this meetup) • Looking for tech work (there’ll be lots of people working in tech there, and some of them will be recruiting) • New to the Tampa Bay tech scene or haven’t been to a Tampa Bay tech event in a while |
| When: | Tuesday, September 26, 2023 5:30 – 9:00 p.m. |
| Where: | Embarc Collective 802 E Whiting Street, Tampa FL |
| How much: | Free! |
| Where to register: | Navigating Your Tech Journey’s Meetup page |
This event will feature Candace Williams, who will share her inspiring journey into the world of technology. From her early days to becoming Associate Director, Cybersecurity at Raytheon and starting Cyb(H)er Ally, Candace’s story is a testament to what’s possible in the tech industry.
Following Candace’s keynote address, there will be a panel of accomplished industry professionals ready to answer your burning questions. Guided by the audience’s inquiries, this discussion will focus on the invaluable lessons they learned when starting their tech careers and finding their own unique paths in the industry.
This event is free to attend — register here!
Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, August 28 through Sunday, September 3, 2023.
As of Monday, August 28 at 2:20 p.m., the prediction is that Hurricane Idalia will get close enough to us to start being a problem around Tuesday evening. There’s a good chance that non-online events (and possibly online ones as well) will be canceled. Check the page for your event and or contact the organizers for any event you want to attend — and if it’s storming outside, stay home!

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape 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 judgement 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:
The SocialCode x Tampa is a few weeks away, but if you’re into AI and networking with Tampa’s top technology people in one of Tampa’s top venues, you’ll want to put this on your calendar right now.
The first reason you should attend is venue: Hyde House Public Studio’s Black Box Auditorium. It’s a great space that rarely sees a Tampa Bay tech event, and it’s going to be amazing.
The second reason you should attend is the speaker lineup:
Craig Bosco is a lifelong learner with a passion for math and technology, as well as finding innovative solutions. After working in multiple industries and starting his own business, he’s found a calling with Data Science and has spent the last five years developing his skills to apply programmatic solutions for hosted services and predictive modelling. Telling a story with data is his expertise, and he loves solving difficult problems.
Craig will discuss how predictive analytics can play a part in healthcare staffing, the role of AI in automation and operational excellence, and how different types of AI can be used to augment the skills of a limited workforce. In the healthcare world, where resources are always limited, AI can be a multiplying force, filling in gaps where human time may be limited and providing an extra set of eyes where getting the right answer is critical.
James is a Generative AI Director for Accenture, bringing over 30 years of software delivery experience, leading global teams to break new ground in Generative AI solutions. James has a strong foundation in AI, DevOps, Architecture, and Modern Engineering practices spanning various projects and across numerous industries, technologies, and software platforms.
James’ expertise doesn’t end with software architecture and creating custom automation tools, he also takes great pleasure in exploring the groundbreaking fields of the Metaverse and Generative AI during his personal time. This blend of professional accomplishment and personal fascination embodies an undying dedication to the ever-changing landscape of technology.
James’ talk, “Talk Track” will involve a captivating exploration into the groundbreaking realm of Generative AI. In this insightful session, James will elucidate how various organizations are harnessing the power of Generative AI to drive innovation in their products and enhance operational efficiency. This session will also explore and demonstrate how we can use multiple technologies across the entire software delivery lifecycle.
Witness firsthand how this revolutionary tool is reshaping the coding process by generating code lines and blocks, offering an up-close look at how Generative AI is transforming our workplaces and the potential it holds for the future of technology. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get a glimpse of the technological revolution that’s just around the corner!
(Yup, I’m speaking at this event!)
If you hear an accordion at a programming presentation, chances are that Joey de Villa is the one playing, presenting, or both. He’s a Senior Developer Advocate at Okta, where he specializes in supporting mobile and Python developers.
He’s also the editor of Tampa Bay’s tech blog, Global Nerdy, home of the Tampa Bay Tech Events list, and organizes Tampa’s AI and Apple coding meetups. When he’s not programming or talking to programmers, he plays in a band called the Tropical Sons, does daily 10K bike rides around his neighborhood, plays tabletop and video games, and is always looking for interesting new places to hang out.
Joey’s talk, “Centaurs vs. Minotaurs,” is a metaphor used in AI circles for two different approaches to human-AI synergy. In the “centaur” relationship (human head/horse body), the human is in charge and the AI follows its orders. Conversely in the “minotaur” relationship (bull head/human body), the AI is making the decisions and the human follows its orders.
The final reason you should attend: Oscar Technology have a great track record with tech events, having held great SocialCode mixers in the U.S. and the U.K. If you remember the evening party at Ulele after the first day of Civo Navigate North America back in February, you’re remembering an Oscar Technology event!
Join us as we kick off September with a great event where you’ll learn more about AI and its applications, mix and mingle with Tampa Bay’s tech scene, get an opportunity to speak to the tech recruiters at Oscar, and have a grand old time in an great venue!
