REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HEREReston Tech Talks is a monthly gathering of tech professionals in the greater Reston area. Our vision is to create a space where startups and tech firms can gather to learn from industry veterans, network with potential employers, and learn about the different companies in the area.
Every month, attendees will hear from different speakers in the local tech community in a segment we call “Tech Talk”; watch brief product demos from local companies; and at the end, attendees will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the group and share any announcements.
Tech Talk speakers are invited to share their wisdom and experience in 10 minutes or less. We ask that you share one story about how you overcame a challenge. For example: if someone from Constellix were to give a talk, we might discuss how we grappled with scaling our network monitoring service to capture metrics from tens of thousands of websites simultaneously.
Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.
RTT is jointly sponsored by Constellix, a DNS Management service based in Reston, and Spaces - Reston, Wiehle Metro, a collaborative work area.
Reston Tech Talk starts at 5:15pm with the talks starting at 6:00pm. As courtesy to the business members at Spaces please do not arrive before 5:15pm if you are arriving just for the talks.
WHO SHOULD JOIN:
RTT is open to anyone who works in the local tech industry.
