About San Diego Tech Scene
San Diego Tech Scene strives to be your one-stop shop for all things tech in San Diego. The site was born out of the frustration of a fragmented tech scene, where overlapping events made it hard for people to connect, collaborate, and grow together.
We’re here to fix that — by curating a unified calendar, highlighting local groups, and helping you discover what’s happening across the region’s vibrant tech ecosystem.
What We Do
- Aggregate tech meetups, workshops, conferences, and hackathons
- Support local tech groups, startups, and community organizers
- Provide affordable ad space and event upgrades to help boost visibility
- Host March Mingle, San Diego’s largest and longest-running annual tech networking event
Who’s Behind It?
