A few months ago I was on an endeavor to create a new group for the tech community here in Boston. I realized that there was a huge amount of young tech entrepreneurs in the Boston area, but that the only networking events in the area felt like a conference (don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of WebInno). There was nothing that was just about having fun, which in my opinion is the environment where you make the strongest connections.
Ironically at the same time I met Eric Olson of Feedburner who had started a tech event in Chicago called TECH Cocktail. I told him what I wanted to do, but wasn’t sure what to do to make it fun. After he told me about TECH Cocktail, it turns out that all you need is a bar environment, and free booze! Sounds good to me.
Fast forward a couple months and we are now announcing the first ever TECH Cocktail Boston on September 6th at 6:30pm at Tequila Rain by Fenway. There will of course be free booze, and some fun stuff by our sponsors (see below). You MUST be on the RSVP list to attend, which we will be opening up very soon.
Myself, Jay Meattle, Shawn Ward, and Peter Glyman have been pulling this all together. So save the date, and get ready for some TECH cocktail fun.
Sponsors of the event:
ZoomInfo, North Bridge Venture Partners, Compete.com, Geezeo
