Tampa Devs

Join us for a delightful social gathering at the renovated Armature Works, where you can enjoy drinks, food, and friendly conversations. Whether you're new to the area or a long-time resident, this event is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and expand your social circle.

About Armature Works:

Once a streetcar warehouse, Armature Works has been transformed into a bustling hub featuring diverse food stalls, bars, and recreational spaces. It's the perfect spot to unwind, try new cuisines, and connect with others. Situated on the north side of the street are even more restaurants to explore, and the Tampa Riverwalk's north terminal begins right here!

Meeting Spot:

Find us outdoors on the green lawn near the chess/checker courts to avoid any issues with security. In case of inclement weather, we will move indoors but maintain a distance from the doors.

Parking Information:

Free side street parking is available to the north and east of Armature Works, which should be mostly accessible on a Wednesday. If paid parking is necessary, the cost is generally $5 to $10.

Don't miss this chance to mingle, share experiences, and create lasting connections at the vibrant Armature Works. We can't wait to see you there!

Tampa Devs will be joining the Pinellas Tech Network for a fast‑paced look at the trends shaping the web in 2026.

We’ll explore how AI is becoming a true collaborator in development, why performance and composable architectures now define modern builds, and how design is shifting toward more organic, minimal, and human‑focused experiences.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, digital strategist, or simply tech curious, you’ll walk away with practical insights to apply to your next project—and connect with fellow tech leaders across Pinellas and Tampa Bay.

Speakers:

• Adam Heaton, Attack Surface Management Lead, Taxwell
• Yukti Goyal, Technical Lead, Kforce
• Alexis Menard, Senior Software Engineer, Intel
• Nisha Patel, Product Manager, Clearly Agile
• David Rivera, Web Designer II, Geographic Solutions
• RC Clements, Founder, Byte Bot
• Jeremy Rivera, Developer Advocate, Deque Systems

Come with a hunger and thirst for knowledge – but also for refreshments! Food and drink will abound to keep you nourished throughout the evening. (Courtesy of Geographic Solutions: https://www.geographicsolutions.com/)
