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

Wednesday, December 6

This event happens at 7:00 a.m., but it’s online, so you can attend from bed — it’s Women Who Code’s “Digital Transformation: Stories from Experts to Empower Your Career”! This panel of experts will discuss their experiences and exciting opportunities that arise when you combine your skills in STEM with digital transformation projects. Find out more and register here.

Wednesday evening’s big in-person event is Data Analytics – Tampa Bay’s December Meetup featuring Sri Subramanian, Head of Data Engineering, SurveyMonkey.

There is no good predictive (ML), descriptive or prescriptive Business Insights or Analytics without good quality and timely data. For us to have good quality and timely data, there is a need for a solid Data Engineering and Data Infrastructure that will scale to the needs of the Business.

In this presentation, Sri will be walking us through what an end-to-end Data Platform at Scale looks like, essential components of a Data Platform and the future state of a high-velocity Data Platform. Sri will also be providing us an overview of Snowflake Data Cloud and why it is powerful.

Find out more and register here.

This will be an online event — a reading of the book The Adventures of Women in Tech by Alana Karen, with a book club-style conversation on the subject. Unlike a traditional book club, you don’t have to have read the book to attend! Find out more and register here.
