Holiday Mixer 2018 – Tech Toledo

Register now for the 8th annual Tech Toledo Holiday Mixer, December 6th. FREE!

We will be at a new location this year: the Collingwood Arts Center (see below for more about the venue).

What will stay the same:

Largest social gathering of IT professionals, with lots of digital designers, tech entrepreneurs, and other community members in attendance
Community groups, such as meet-ups, professional associations, and user groups, holding their “holiday parties” together
Sponsors and exhibitors who financially show their support of the community

We will NOT have a “program” this year. Just socializing and mingling.

Tell your colleagues about the Mixer and invite them to join us! Use this Facebook event, for example.

About the Mixer

Tech Toledo invites members of the tech, design, and entrepreneur community to join us on Thursday December 6th for our 8th Annual Holiday Mixer.

The Mixer is our end-of-the-year community party and a celebration of the various tech-related groups (meetups, professionals associations, user groups). We welcome IT professionals, tech entrepreneurs, digital designers, business leaders, planners, engineers, government officials, marketing professionals, and anyone else interested in hanging out with the region’s tech community.

The Mixer is free for individuals to attend. You are responsible for paying for your own drinks. We are trying to get enough sponsors to pay for catered food for everyone. Individual registration is now open! Get your FREE ticket so we know you are coming. Tell us which community group you are with, if any.

Community Groups

Community group registration is still available!

Instead of having a separate “holiday party” for your group, have it with us! It is free for groups to participate. Group leaders promote the Mixer, invite their members, and ask them to register with us. In return, each group gets a spot at the event where members can hang out and prospective members can learn more about the group.

Community group leaders: Get a FREE “Community group” ticket on Eventbrite to participate in the Mixer. And then start promoting to your group!

About the Venue

The 2018 Tech Toledo Holiday Mixer will be at the Collingwood Arts Center (2413 Collingwood Blvd, Toledo, OH 43620). The Mixer will take place in the Gerber House and in the hallway outside the Nelson Theater.

We selected this venue because of its unique Toledo history and setting (including a haunted past of the whole building, especially the Gerber House and its spooky basement). Experience an historical landmark as you meet with colleagues to discuss building our tech future.
