TC New Tech’s event is free and open to the public. From Traverse City to Alpena, Sault Ste. Marie to Grand Rapids – all are welcome! Up to five presenters each month will take the stage to highlight their new tech products or business ventures. Each presenter will be allowed five minutes to present and five minutes of Q&A (time limits will be politely enforced). Between presenters, the audience is allowed to make brief announcements for things such as job openings, persons seeking employment, and other events happening in the area related to technology. An optional informal social hour is after the meeting for further discussion and networking. The audience is typically made up of technology-minded people and consists mostly of programmers, IT staff, people looking for opportunities for their tech companies, tech companies looking for staff, individuals looking for investment opportunities, startup founders looking for investors, and tech geeks that like learning about new offerings. Meetings are held monthly on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 pm and will last no longer than 75 minutes… guaranteed! The presenter line-up is announced one week before the meetup. The goal of the meetings is to facilitate networking and interaction among technology enthusiasts in northern Michigan.
