About Tech Connect Summer Socials: Downtown Windsor Edition
Explore the Core this summer while you engage with the local tech community and partake in some fun “after 5” networking and unique activities.
Held bi-monthly throughout July and August in the heart of downtown Windsor, these events are your ticket to break free from the screen! It’s all about building connections, learning new things, sharing laughs, and supporting our beloved downtown local businesses.
Who Are These Events For?
The Tech Connect Summer Social events are open to all members of the tech community, both downtown and beyond, including students, professionals, and members and organizations of the broader tech network. Attendance is free, but space is limited.
In this month’s session, dive into AWE at Night!
What does a downtown Windsor “Tech Hub” look like to you? Join us at Art Windsor-Essex from 6pm till 9pm for a live art activation with artist Talysha Bujold-Abu. Add your ideas to this unique sketch, which will be transformed into a digital art piece and shared with our community as a vision for what the future has in store for tech in the core.
