TECH WAVE Marbella Meetup / #001 Beach Kick-Off
Something new is coming to the Costa del Sol 🌊
A new wave of AI-driven tech change is rising - and we want to surf it, together!
TECH WAVE (tech-wave.org) is an open tech community for everyone building with technology on the Costa del Sol — founders, corporate professionals, engineers, solo builders, creators, investors and enthusiasts. A place to share real experience, exchange knowledge and help the local ecosystem grow responsibly
Nobody owns it; everybody builds it and benefits as the ecosystem grows. One community, no cliques. Details on the open source policy and long-term vision soon (think Toastmasters but for Tech)
Kick-off #001 · 27 August
Chilled beach vibe and a warm welcome
Geeky icebreakers to start new conversations
Open networking across the local tech scene
From #002 in September
Monthly meetups around one practical tech case — something a community member built or solved — followed by open discussion and networking.
Joining the Wave #001?
Please register - it helps us plan, know how many of us to expect and keep you posted about future events. Everyone orders their own drinks at the bar
Thursday 27 August · from 19:00
Victor’s Beach · Marbella
Entrence: Free, please register
Dress code: Smart beach casual - beach-friendly shoes, no heels :) (we'll be standing on sand)
Bar policy: everyone orders their own drinks
Victor’s Beach is one of the coast’s oldest and truest beach bars — here since 1978, when the Apple II was driving the PC boom and the Atari 800 was taking shape 🤓. It’s a no-reservations spot that keeps the local community vibe, a natural place to catch the first wave together
Brought to you in collaboration with local tech community and specifically:
Founders Meetup Marbella
Soul Seekers Tribe

Who's behind this and how do we manage any data gathered in sign-ups:
TECH WAVE is run by Wojciech Marek ('Mark') Erdmann and Ilie Diacov. When you register here, your name and email are used for: running this event and letting you know about future TECH WAVE meetups (if you agree while registering). We don't sell your data and we don't pass the guest list to partners, sponsors or venues — it stays with the two of us. Full details: tech-wave.org/privacy
A few names you'll see around this event:
Silicon Vale — the Costa del Sol tech events calendar, run by Ilie. This event is listed there, which is how many of you found it. If you subscribe to that calendar, your subscription stays with Silicon Vale and is separate from TECH WAVE.
Founders Meetup Marbella — Ilie's other community on the coast. Also separate, also its own list.
Soul Seekers — our partner for this edition, helping bring the crowd together. They promote the event to their own audience and are credited here.
