When: Hackernest socials run on the last Monday of every month at 8PM

Format: 30-second introductions then ultra casual.  Hang around, chat about tech/what you're up to, plot to take over the world, etc.

231 Wallace Avenue
Toronto, ON M6H 1V5

At any given Hackernest meetup, you may find people who are:

• curious about developing on Ruby on Rails, but far too attached to Cake PHP to ever take the plunge 
• looking for a tech/entrepreneur/new business story to cover
• Objective-C experts who secretly hate themselves for working on iPhones/iPads/Apple products 
• looking to recruit a 5th or 6th engineer for their venture-funded TORONTO-BASED tech startup (no, seriously, it's true - these actually do exist; I happen to be part of one) 
• looking to write articles/stories about the obscure/interesting/hilarious hacks you've pulled off 
• totally oblivious and just wandered in because they heard there was booze (!?)
• building a top-secret app out of their basement that's going to change the way the world does X
• scrambling to find a partner to work with on a well-paying contract that's just a wee bit too much workload for the anticipated deadline
• heroes because they're part of the burgeoning community that will reverse Toronto's brain-drain
• ...incredibly talented, smart, entrepreneurial, and absolutely dangerous to the status quo
