What is Techmeetups? TechMeetups has been setup to create a global network of Tech communities from San Francisco to Sydney.

Our goal is to create a global Tech cluster of over 50 inter-connected Tech communities by 2013. Our global community started out with the launch of the London Silicon Roundabout Tech community in December 2010. Following it's success in …

"Hacking" is creating solutions to problems in complex systems. As it turns out, "Health" is an unbelievably complex system (the body), tangled up with an unfathomably real abstraction (the mind) and wrapped in a morass of business, government, and good intentions so labyrinthine in nature that it would make Kafka cry. If you love exploring elegant fixes to problems of mind-shattering difficulty in a collaborative environment then HealthHackingNYC is the group for you. So: Come ask questions tha …

Yes, there are already groups out there to practice general public speaking. But we are in the tech space, and we liked the idea of being able to present more technical material without alienating non-techies. Also, presenting to fellow develo …
