Meetups
New for 2026! Find your tribe. Join the conversation.
TechExpo Meetups are 45-minute, topic-focused conversations designed to bring people together around shared interests, challenges, and ideas. These informal sessions create space for meaningful dialogue, peer learning, and real connections—no slides, just conversation.
Meetups cover specific industry topics and are open to anyone looking to connect, share insights, and learn from peers in a smaller, more interactive setting.
Topics will be confirmed in July.
- Interested in hosting a meetup? If you have a topic you’re passionate about and want to lead the conversation, we’d love to hear from you.
