Our guest include top tech industry leaders, startups, investors , world-class partners and speakers.

We also welcome professionals who interested in transition into the tech industry.

This is a great time to practice your pitch, find a partner, investors, employees, a new mentor or a job.

The objective is to gather everyone in tech to network, in a casual environment and support each other's work.

You can expect to be greeted on the ground floor by our team, and asked for your name and Eventbrite registration.

Once in the venue, you’ll be invited to make a name tag and register for our Live Directory as well as any giveaways being promoted that night.

There is a light agenda with a 5-10 minute welcome on the microphone by the event host and any sponsors of the night, otherwise the night is focused on networking and casual conversation.

Towards 7:00 PM any additional content will take place, depending on the schedule (this could mean a short panel, giveaways or startup pitches). Please visit our Eventbrite page for a more detailed agenda, as it changes every month.

The bulk of the evening consists of networking with smart, friendly people who come from all around town (and out of town) to attend the meetup.

The Fort Lauderdale Tech Meetup started in January 2023 with an astounding 120 guests the very first edition, consistently hosting up to 250 guests per event through it’s first year, placing it at the fastest growing tech meetup in South Florida.

Julia Lucidi is the founder and host. Get to know the host.

First of all, we believe in the power of community and live to tell those stories on our podcast.

Inspired by the power of community, our team decided to launch the FTL Tech Meetup - our first project in South Florida fostering an in person tech community.

We talk a lot about community, so we decided to bring one to life.

Our mission is to help people leverage the power of community when it comes to reaching their business goals and purpose in life.
