PROGRAMS
Founded in 2023 by a small group of local entrepreneurs, Sarasota Tech has grown from a few friends in a bar to hundreds of tech professionals gathering at different locations around town each month. With no marketing budget or paid advertising, the group has expanded purely through word-of-mouth, hosting 31 events with more than 3,000 attendees over the last two years. The group is making waves as one of Florida’s fastest growing tech communities, drawing attendees from as far as Tampa, Orlando and Miami.
Each year, Sarasota Tech hosts a summit that includes workshops, labs, keynote speakers, panel discussions and networking. Membership is offered and includes a member directory and an online platform to connect with other Sarasota Tech members and corporate supporters.
