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?

His mission is simple: bring people together and make the San Diego tech scene stronger:

Community. Connections. Collaboration.
