Events

Bringing together people who otherwise would never meet

Some come with a question they have not figured out. Some have already built a little and are looking for a project partner. Some bring nothing, and just want to sit at the same table first.

TechFlows organizes offline gatherings. People ask each other four questions on site, and leave with one small next step. This is not a class, and not a series of contests.

Upcoming Events

01

Not published

The next gathering begins with a real question

The time and venue of the next gathering are confirmed for that gathering. If the date and venue are not locked, we do not write as if it is already happening.

The next gathering is not published yet. Join TechFlows and wait until the next real gathering happens.

What we hope happens in person

01

Ask four questions

Why it began, how far it has gone, where it is stuck, and who is still needed. This is not a pitch score.

02

Find a project partner

Two people sit down and make an idea clear. A project partner is a fellow traveler, not a free teacher or free labor.

03

Leave with one small next step

Each person names only one next step. The next gathering only asks whether that step was done.

The next event is waiting for you

You don't need to have a mature project already, or prove you're professional enough. You can come with a question, a story, or just sit down and listen to what others are building.

Many things won't get answered in a single event. But it might be here that it first gets a next step.
