Local Community Resources
Welcome! You’re probably here because you want to find what’s happening in the technology industry in Phoenix Arizona and surrounding cities.
This website is currently for things you as a technologist can get involved in. It is NOT for companies who just want to sell you a non-collaborative product. For actual news, check out technewsarizona.com, bizjournals.com, dailyhoopla.com, aztechcouncil.org
Please contribute or suggest changes! Just use the submit link above.
These categories and descriptions aren’t set in stone, and there’s a lot of overlap between groups. These are just stereotypes that might be useful in determining who to contact first, but by all means check them all out!
See a live feed of Phoenix tech news or say hi to @willbradley, the curator.
Other local aggregators to check: azgroups.org, eventification.com, www.networkingphoenix.com, and phoenix.meetupstogoto.com.
