HackerNest Tech Socials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wG2TpzEm5o)are a fun, relaxed way to connect with your local tech brethren. Atmosphere: chill, friendly, unpretentious, agenda-free (no sales pitch, yo), and brimming with UltraSmart(TM) people.

We believe that strong, supportive tech communities should exist everywhere - not just in hotspots like San Francisco and New York. In 2011, we started running Tech Socials in Toronto (http://meetup.com/hackernest), where our monthly attendance grew to over 350+ technologists literally 100% from word-of-mouth.

The typical Tech Social schedule:

• 8:00pm: folks arrive, grab drinks, socialize
• 9:00pm: quick intro, thank sponsors, quick announcements
• 9:10pm: back to chatting with interesting new friends
• 10:30pm: go home exhausted from great conversations

Sponsors:

Sponsors (http://hackernest.com/sponsor_info/) make this growing movement possible, so we treasure and build deep, long-term relationships with the companies that endorse us. We're always looking for new friends (https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=sponsorship@hackernest.com)! Email sponsorship@hackernest.com for more info!

Venue:

Protospace (http://protospace.ca/): Calgary's original, community-based, member-driven maker space.
