Upcoming Bay Area Tech Events

Published On Jan 30 , 2013

It can be easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget that when you live in the Bay Area, you have easy access to some of the greatest minds and most innovative projects in the global tech community.

Indeed, we live amongst high achievers, and these folks want to share their information, get connected, and start great projects. So, whether you’re one of those high achievers yourself or you’re a “wantrapreneur,” a dreamer, or just a fan-boy, there is no better time than now to get out and get inspired.

February and March are shaping up to be hot months for local tech events. No excuses. You would be remiss if you took a pass on attending at least one of these.

Here are some of the events we thought you should know about. Let us know if you’ll be attending one and we’ll try to catch up with you.
