Tech Unity Cookout
Details
How pleasant it is when the people of tech come together in unity!
In the case of inclement weather, the event will occur virtually
After a year of talking about it, we’re finally doing it: a chill summer cookout for everyone in Baltimore tech. No booths, no buzzwords — just food, sun, and a mic for group leaders to explain their mission.
We are hoping to cultivate a virtuous environment of Baltimore's best tech leaders, to share organizational tips, and to lean into Smalltimore's unique social strengths in building the future economy. Ultimately, we hope to foster the relationships that create better lives for ourselves and our people.
Agenda
- Networking Time (Breakout groups if virtual)
