TGIF, am I right? Spring has sprung, and the weather is heating up. My question today for the tech community is: What are the outdoor tech events?

I know technologists get stereotyped as being inside all day, typing away at a computer, but the reality is much different. Industries experiencing the full privileges of remote work for the first time are coming to the conclusion that work can take place in a lot of different places — and not always between four walls.

But I digress.

What are some of the city's spring tech events that you’re excited to attend?
