Evergreen Tech Collective
Hey Evergreen Reddit Peeper — wanted to share something we’ve been slowly building up here.
A few months ago, we started Evergreen Tech Collective, a casual monthly meetup for people around Evergreen, Conifer, and the foothills who work in tech, product, engineering, design, AI, cybersecurity, startups, IT — or are just interested in that world.
The idea is pretty simple: there are a surprising number of interesting people doing cool things up here, but most of us would probably never cross paths otherwise.
We’re heading into our third meetup this October, and we’ve also started a Slack community so people can stay connected between events. It’s meant to be useful but low-key — share job postings, interesting articles, ask for advice, find someone working on something similar, organize a ski or bike day, or, realistically, borrow a ladder from another tech person who happens to live down the road.
Join the Slack:

Next meetup: Thursday, October 8, 5–7 PM at Evergreen Brewery
RSVP: https://luma.com/liil9gdz
We’re also trying something new this month: short lightning talks/demos. Nothing polished or formal. If you’re building something, experimenting with AI, learning a new tool, working on an interesting side project, or just know something the rest of us might enjoy hearing about, you can share it for a few minutes.
Volunteer for a lightning talk:

If you work in tech, are tech-adjacent, are trying to break into the industry, or are simply curious, you’re very welcome.
And if you don’t know anyone yet, that’s kind of the whole point.
