Built In Brews at DigitalOcean, February 23rd at 5:30 p.m.

Ya, it’s not this week, but you should go ahead and mark the date on your calendar. Built In Brews is probably the best way to meet new people in New York tech, and it has the added benefit of being a ton of fun. Get a taste of life at DigitalOcean, and join some of their team for drinks, games and mingling. Their in-house DJ will be there, and obviously, there’ll be tons of food and drink.

That's it for this week. Check out our events page for a full listing of everything happening in NYC tech.
