SFTech4Good Happy Hour: End of Day Networking and Cocktails

Thu, Sep 24, 12:00 AM

From SFTech4Good

4.5

It’s time! I’m still looking for sustainable work, so events are few and far between until I have a stable income again. With that said, let’s meet up for a drink. That’s easy and straightforward. People can catch up and network! * If you can’t make it but have ideas, write me. * If you want to build and host an event but can’t make it, write me. * If you want to have a drink, relax, and can make it, show up. My long-term goal is to bring back events at least quarterly. As always, they'll be focused on the intersection of social impact and tech. Going forward, anyone who wants to co-host or organize events through SFTech4Good will need to contribute financially toward the Meetup fee. I can no longer be the only person paying to keep the group alive while other people use it to host or promote events. Stay tuned for details!
