Celebrate your tech community

Welcome to Monday. It's not just the last full work week of the year for us at Technical.ly — it's also a week stuffed with exciting Slack-based events aimed at convening and celebrating our tech community.

 

This Wednesday, Dec. 15, the winners of the 2021 Technical.ly Awards will be announced live from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tune in to congratulate them in real time, then stick around to virtually meet folks from all of Technical.ly's markets. Awards categories are Invention, Tech Community Leader, CTO, Startup, Growth Company and Culture Builder of the Year.

 

Then on Thursday, Dec. 16, Garry Johnson III will be live in the #ama channel in conversation with reporter Holly Quinn. Garry is the founder of First Founders Accelerator and Bison Venture Partners and is a nationally recognized ecosystem builder committed to a more equitable innovation economy. He will be talking about entrepreneurship and capital funding, including Regulation Crowdfunding on Wefunder.

 

Join Technical.ly's Slack here to participate in both.
