►► Been a while huh? Isolation and physical distancing wearing us all down too right? No Tech Social for a while as well (that’s changing as well…stay tuned). This HackerNest Toronto & GTA Community Open Chat will be an evening of discussions with others from the tech community, akin to what you’re used to at the Tech Socials. Doesn’t matter if you’re downtown, in the construction mess at Eglinton, up in Stouffville or Georgina, from Scarborough/Pickering/Ajax/Whitby/Oshawa/Clarington, Mississauga/Brampton/Oakville/Burlington … you get the point – Halton, Peel York, Durham regions are all included.

Coming to you on Monday night, July 6th – 7pm onwards. Grab your drink, fire up that computer, dial-up, and join us.

WHAT’S ON:

Reception, Welcome, Introductions, Announcements
Ongoing: Meet Each Other 1-on-1s
Breakout Sessions: Small group conversations
Finally leave, exhausted from talking with long lost friends!

Details on the Breakout Sessions: Our events are known for the time we dedicate to guests meeting each other (remember those large, open offices that graciously hosted us?) in a comfortable, relaxed manner. Giving breakout sessions a go (popular topics are on the schedule) to participate in, live (people can see and hear you), or just watch – there’s max live-on-camera spots, but anyone can listen and join the session chat. Also, some are moderated (ie. someone adds/removes video participants), while others are not. These are the sessions we’ll have, but of course, we can talk about anything at all you want 🙂 — Toronto/GTA tech community stuff, all things code, jobs & careers, and whether WFH (Work From Home) is awesome or sucks!

ONLINE EVENT #PROTIPS

– Please TEST your mic and speakers with the browser you’ll be using so that your on-camera entrance is seamless!
– Close all unnecessary windows and programs since you’ll be running chat and video, possibly on a couple of screens or more
– Great lighting makes the video go round – face a light source, have natural light, use soft/diffused light, and have a bright or light coloured wall behind you (if possible!)

HACKERNEST EVENTS: The fun way to meaningfully connect with the -actual- tech community. Down-to-earth and friendly, you show up, make friends, hear from quality people. Easy. We’re mostly tech folk, but all nice people are welcome.

What others have said: “Found a job” ↔ “Met my co-founder” ↔ “Met someone I eventually hired” ↔ “Got help to solve my security assignment” ↔ “Met some of my best friends in the industry” ↔ “Got a job! Went on the slide at the Masonic temple!” ↔ “Met unpretentious people who genuinely love what they do” ↔ “It was amazing! Learned a lot from people, and everyone is super friendly!”
