Join us at Mini-BarCamp Tampa Bay — Thursday, March 18, 8:00 p.m. EDT!

BarCamp Tampa Bay is one of the highlights of the year for the Tampa Tech scene, and we’ve all missed it — the chance to get together, see friends and colleagues, and of course, catch the talks!

There are plans for an in-person BarCamp Tampa Bay in the fall, and hopefully the vaccine situation will allow us to gather together then. In the meantime, there have been plans made to do the next-best thing, and it’s happening tomorrow, Thursday, March 18th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern: A live mini-BarCamp Tampa Bay on the Clubhouse app!

If you’d like to attend, you’ll need the Clubhouse app, which is currently iOS-only.

Once you have the app, open the link below on your iPhone on Thursday, March 18th at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern):

What’s happening in the Tampa Bay tech/entrepreneur/nerd scene (Week of Monday, March 15, 2021)

Welcome to the week with the Ides of March and St. Patrick’s Day! Here’s your list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events for Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for the week of Monday, March 15 through Sunday, March 21, 2020.

This is a weekly service from Tampa Bay’s tech blog, Global Nerdy! For the past four years, I’ve been compiling a list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events happening in Tampa Bat and surrounding areas. There’s a lot going on in our scene here in “The Other Bay Area, on the Other West Coast”!

By “Tampa Bay and surrounding areas”, this list covers events that originate or are aimed at the area within 100 miles of the Port of Tampa. At the very least, that includes the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, but as far north as Ocala, as far south as Fort Myers, and includes Orlando and its surrounding cities.

For the time being, I’m restricting this list to online events. We’re still deep in a pandemic, and the way out is to stop the spread, however we can. In the age of broadband internet, smartphones, and social media, it’s not that hard. Stay home, stay safe, stay connected, and #MakeItTampaBay!

This week’s events

Monday, March 15

Tuesday, March 16

Wednesday, March 17

Thursday, March 18
