Not now, but then will be now...soon! May 2016! We wanted to do it on the 4th for obvious reasons only masters & rebels would fully understand. ;-) However we also wanted to have an epic after party so we reset for an all day Saturday event. It’s time to reinvent the wheel because 2015 was so last year and don't even talk to me about 1985. It’s about time to to step it up a notch.

Then comes the Afterparty! Where the real magic of Silicon Valley Networking happens.
Where?- Did this project come from?
After attending networking events, meetup groups , makerspaces, and hackathons in the Bay area for years, we thought “Let’s do something epic that actually helps all the startups that attend!” We are a collection of awesome startups who have gotten together and said “Let’s put all of the awesome things we love about these events and make it into one annual epic event to promote the application of STEM tech in a way that hopefully gives birth to a new community of successful STEM Startups.“

We wanted the location to be awesome!, inspirational!, and inspiring!…..Steve's garage was not available, so we figured the computer history museum next to the Google campus in Mountain View would be a good start.
