HackerNest Tech Socials are a fun, relaxed way to connect with your local tech brethren. Atmosphere: chill, friendly, unpretentious, agenda-free (no sales pitch, yo), and brimming with UltraSmart(TM) people.   We believe that strong, supportive tech communities should exist everywhere - not just in hotspots like San Francisco and New York. In 2011, we started running Tech Socials in Toronto, where our monthly attendance grew to over 350+ technologists literally 100% from word-of-mouth.   The typical Tech Social schedule:    - 8:00pm: folks arrive, grab drinks, socialize   - 9:00pm: quick announcements, thank sponsors   - 9:10pm: back to chatting   - 11:00pm: go home!     Sponsors (sponsorship@hackernest.com):  Sponsors make this growing movement possible, so we treasure and build deep, long-term relationships with the companies that endorse us. We're always looking for new friends! Venue: Canadian Tire Innovations Digital Garage Wanna show off your office? We're always looking for big open spaces with 100+ (standing room) capacity that are easily accessible: amaris@hackernest.com   About Us:   HackerNest is an international nonprofit uniting local tech communities through unpretentious Tech Socials and hackathons. We cram lots of smart, accomplished people into a room with free drinks. Our relaxed, down-to-earth events attract a diverse and highly technical membership. Strict no-douchebag policy.
