An international nonprofit with community events that have connected tech nerds internationally, producing 1250+ events (including epic hackathons) in 65+ cities with partners like Facebook, Amazon, Stanford, Harvard, the UK/US/Canadian governments, Dove, Deloitte, Grindr, Airbnb, and other organizations like them. We now have a community of over 100,000 technologists around the world. ► Public Tech Events: Down to earth gatherings that bring tech people together - HackerNest feels like coming home. General, skill-/experience- themed Tech Socials, SpeedMeets, career expos, mentor/cofounder matching - connect with the ‘actual’ tech & developer community. ► Custom Elite Meets: Elite Meets are exclusively sponsored. These boutique events curate specific, expert guests from our tech communities for an opportunity to come together to engage and connect in a low-pressure, casual manner while emphasizing the value of shared learning. ► Hackathon Production: Veteran producers of corporate- and some of the world’s largest cause hackathons, we train and coach hackathon teams so companies and NGOs can reach a higher performance paradigm (and have more impact). We can help you run better hackathons. Our special projects rallied around causes and innovation: CourtHack for access to justice, Fishackathon for oceans preservation & sustainable fisheries, et al. We have been afforded Special Consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. We are in the City of Toronto’s economic and technology roundtable and was part of the White House's Opportunity Project delivering solutions to improve community access and economic opportunity. The U.S. State Department also named HackerNest as Managing Partner for Fishackathon 2017-18, a global hackathon series in dozens of cities around the world. hackernest.com | wikipedia.org/wiki/HackerNest | facebook.com/HackerNest | twitter.com/HackerNest
