TechSoup's NetSquared community of tech4good meetups is growing! As of January 25 there are 40,000 nonprofit members attending free tech networking events and workshops in 75 cities. So if you're looking to build your skills and find your fellow accidental techies there's probably a group near you! Keep reading for a roundup of upcoming events or search the directory.
Find Your Closest NetSquared Group
However, we aren't everywhere yet, so we're looking for community leaders to start new groups. As a NetSquared organizer you will become known as someone who's a leader in the tech for good community. As an event host, you build your reputation, develop new tech skills, and give back to your community.... and have a reason to hang out with other cool people! If you're interested apply now.
Here's the top nine cities without a NetSquared group and an estimate of how many potential members are waiting for you on meetup.com.
- New York City: 22,000 potential members
- San Diego: 7,000 potential members
- Bangalore: 6,000 potential members
- Denver: 6,000 potential members
- Charlotte: 5,000 potential members
