HackGreenville Nights - Winter Edition

Join us for the return of HackGreenville Nights at OpenWorks Coworking in downtown Greenville on February 29th!

Our experiment with a new "quarterly-ish" community gathering format providing ample social time and multiple speakers was a success!

Most talks will be technical, but we hope to also explore some tech-adjacent topics of interest sparked from conversations in the HackGreenville Slack.

Big thanks to STEM Search Group for sponsoring the food! 😋
Four HackGreenville members will be cooking chili for us (including a vegan option).
