BTW Akron Meetup
BTW Akron Meetup
RSVP here: https://luma.com/a2q798eh Akron, we're pulling up! Black Tech Week is bringing the BTW energy to the 330 for a meetup that's equal parts networking and good vibes. Come hang out with some of the sharpest tech minds in Northeast Ohio, swap ideas, trade stories, and maybe even find your next collaborator, co-founder, or just a new favorite person to geek out with. โ€‹ Whether you're deep in the weeds of a startup, climbing the corporate tech ladder, studying your way into the industry, or just curious about where you fit in all of this, there's a seat at the table with your name on it. Bring your business cards, bring your elevator pitch, or just bring yourself. We promise the conversation will be worth the trip. โ€‹Doors open at 5:30 PM, so come early, stay late, and don't be shy about talking to strangers. The best connections tend to happen when you least expect them, and Akron's tech scene has way more going on than people give it credit for. Come see for yourself.
