DiversiTech Connect: LinkedIN LinkUP
📚 From Gutenberg to GPT — A Night Where History Meets Hello
Tampa Bay Tech Week comes to the library — and we're making it a LinkUp.
Join us for an evening that celebrates the arc of technological evolution, from the printing press to artificial intelligence, while connecting the founders, operators, and builders shaping Tampa Bay's future.
This isn't your average networking event. Set inside a library rich with history, every corner of the evening is designed to spark real conversations: a curated exhibit on tech's greatest turning points, structured networking with a twist, founder panels, lightning talks, and a live LinkedIn profile clinic.
Whether you're a seasoned founder, a first-time entrepreneur, or a professional looking to plug into the Tampa Bay tech scene — there's a seat for you here.
