Phoenix Startup Drinks, Redux

{ June 3rd, 2009 }

So it’s been over a year since anything was done with this page and in that time, Phoenix has grown a lot. Seems like a great opportunity for a rebirth of Startup Drinks! Here are some initial thoughts, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

When

We’re thinking that it should be twice a month on the 2nd Tuesday and last Thursday of each month. Meetup time will probably be around 6pm - 9/10pm.

With so many things going on in Phoenix, it will be difficult to not overlap something, but we’re trying to avoid the obvious conflicts like Refresh Phoenix, * Friday Nights, etc. Of course, we don’t know everything that’s happening in Phoenix, so if there is something glaringly obvious that we conflict with, please let us know!

Where

We’d like to move the event around Phoenix to try to maximize the exposure to people throughout the valley. We could either choose a different venue for each meetup (24 venues in a year), or choose a venue for each month (12 venues in a year). Of course, the latter would be easier.

Here’s a list of potential places, please suggest more and/or fill in the gaps:

Like we said, this is just preliminary planning, but if we started this month, the first event would be next week on June 9. If we’re still deciding on appropriate dates/times then it might be later in the month. We’re flexible about all of this, so please let us know your thoughts!

Have a Startup Drink in Phoenix!

{ April 10th, 2008 }

There are pockets of different tech groups in Phoenix. Refresh Phoenix meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month up in N. Scottsdale. There are also Ruby, Rails, and Skulls groups that meet monthly. We generally have drinks at or after each of these events. Come out, get involved and have a pint with us! And leave a post here introducing yourself if this is the first you’ve discovered these groups.
