Equal Space ES550 Tech & Innovation Campus

Calling all New Jersey techies to the NJ Code and Coffee tech community meetup at the EqualSpace ES550 Tech &amp; Innovation campus!
Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal networking/co-working session for those in tech (and the tech-curious). That includes operators, founders, and investors. Developers, data engineers, UX/UI designers, data scientists, product managers, software engineers, solution architects... all are welcome!
People of all skill and experience levels can attend, we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
Come grab a cup of coffee and meet new people, share stories, find collaborators, talk about everything tech, talk about everything NOT tech, take a break from job applications, get away from the computer screen, make connections, make conversation, make friends!
Agenda: 2pm: Doors open, networking starts 2:30pm: Intro circle 3pm: networking continues 5pm: event ends After 5pm: hangout at nearby brewery, Newark Local Beer
The Intro Circle Near the beginning of the event (about 2:30 pm), we will do a standup in a circle: We first talk about organizer announcements, updates, and logistics. Then we go around the circle where each person says:
<ul><li>your name and job title/ role in tech/ tech stack,</li><li>What you can help others with,</li><li>What you would like help with,</li><li>Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.</li></ul>
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized.
You MUST register first in order to get into the building.
