Follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/hackernest) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hackernest/), like us on Facebook (http://facebook.com/hackernest), hi-5 us in person!

The typical Tech Social agenda: Folks arrive, grab drinks, socialize >> quick announcements, thank sponsors >> back to chatting >> head home, exhilarated from great conversations!

**** HackerNest Tech Socials are Entry by Donation - $10 to $20 is suggested, with $10 as a minimum. If a cash donation is too restrictive, no problem - just email your Tech Social Organizers before the day of the event to ask if there are any spots left to volunteer on that night. ****

VENUE: FreeSpace (Mangos Lounge, 1180 Howe St)

About FreeSpace: Each day thousands of people seek out a comfortable spot where they can sit, plug in and get to work without feeling obligated to purchase something, or have to worry about whether or not they will get a spot to sit (or if the Wi-Fi they are using is secured). Yet some of the most beautiful spaces, in prime locations within the city, sit underutilized for significant portions of the day. And if that is the case within our own city. It must be the same elsewhere.

That got us thinking.

What if how we perceived the concept of space and how it is utilized could change? What if we could flip the switch on the traditional narrative, and create an environment of abundance rather than scarcity?

This is how FreeSpace was born.

Located nearby historic Yaletown and within steps of Granville Street, Mangos lounge provides a perfect getaway to get your daily tasks done. Discover all that Yaletown and the surrounding area has to offer.

Want to show off your office? We're always looking for easily accessible locations with a big open space for people to stand (because we’re standing room only). Email info@hackernest.com for hosting opportunities!
