tl;dr I am having a party you should come - https://www.facebook.com/events/340922885074862/
Standing on the verge of celebrating my 50th birthday, I've pondered deeply about what I truly desire for this milestone. The answer was clear: I wish to gather the incredible Tampa Bay tech community for a grand celebration. We haven’t done a Barcamp in a few years now, and things seem disjointed with all of the new tech organizations. This isn't just about marking half a century of my life; it's about applauding our collective tech ecosystem, our breakthroughs, and even the hurdles we've faced along the way. Heck, the internet is barely 50 years old.
Our journey has been remarkable, filled with innovation, perseverance, and a shared vision that continues to drive Tampa Bay forward. Every organization, entrepreneur, and tech enthusiast among us has played a pivotal role in sculpting our community's success. Now, it's time to celebrate that collective spirit and strength. So, to celebrate this, we will have a fireside chat to share some of the history you haven’t heard about. Companies you may have never heard of, some you may not have known that they started here.
I am thrilled to invite you, our tech community's dedicated and talented members, to join a gathering that promises to be more than just an event. It's an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, reflect on our challenges, and inspire one another as we look towards the future.
