TechExpats:Istanbul

Are you a tech expat living or spending time in Istanbul? Or maybe a local wanting to meet interesting people from the tech world? This meetup aims to bridge people from all around the world - the default language is English, all nationalities welcome.

I'm Pawel, a Polish software engineer and DevRel who lived in Istanbul for years and keeps coming back. I started this group because I know how hard it can be to find your people in a new city, and Istanbul deserves a stronger international tech community.

We meet casually at coffee shops to talk, connect, and share ideas. No pitches, no agenda. In the future we might do workshops, hackathons, or build-together sessions — but for now, let's just meet.
A few simple ground rules:

• Be respectful and inclusive
• No spamming or aggressive self-promotion
• English as the common language, but don't stress about being perfect
• Good vibes only ☕
