HackerNest Toronto October Tech Social

Tonight's special. Lotta stuff:

2. Our job fair (http://hckrn.st/jfair14) is Nov 8th, need a job or need to hire? Register: http://hckrn.st/jfair14
3. HN Toronto just broke 5K+ members, making us the world’s largest Meetup for Programmers (http://programmers.meetup.com/) (FACE!)

HackerNest Tech Socials (http://hackernest.com/cities/) 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.

Rough lineup (pretty much always in development)

• quick intro
• sponsor appreciation & love
• announcements
• demos! (but this isn't regular; we sometimes feature hackathon winners like Bike Finder (https://twitter.com/BikeFinderTO) [won BikeshareTO] and partners - HackerNesters are the first people to ever hack on the Plexidrone (http://hckrn.st/plexidroneigg)!)
