Calling all technology companies and organizations:Wouldn't it be great if we had a collective calendar of technology events in the South Puget Sound? We have had Barcamps, Startup Weekends, Dorkbot events (awhile ago), International eCrime Conferences, the PNW Security Symposium, Tacoma Angel Network events, end of quarter colloquiums, Tech Meetups, the SHIFT awards and more.
Not to mention the South Sound Technology Conference on March 11th.
I would like to see if we could gather up all these great meeting times and events and put them in one place? I am not sure how that would work but I would like to give it some effort to try and figure out a way.
In the afternoon breakout session of the SST Conference, time has been set aside to start collecting times, days and information on upcoming technology related events and organizational meetings.
Do some advance scouting for your company, use this as an opportunity to promote your group, bring ideas for how we might share this information and share it.
Let's see if we can bring the WTIA or The TA down for a meeting or an event.
The meeting room will be next to William Philip Hall and the effort will take place after a lunchtime keynote focusing on innovation and economic development.
Gary Bracket from the Tacoma Chamber and I will help to coordinate the conversation and the collection of information.

Great idea - we could use a master calendar. Barcamp is aiming for a consistent August-September date. See you at the breakout session.
Did this idea every develop into a collective calendar? I always miss events because I find out about them too late or forget the dates. A collective calendar for the region would make everything WAY easier to track.
look for a post on it within the next week or so.
