BlackGirls Code, Bandwidth hackathon, Triangle Startup Weekend TrailBlazers, Internet Summer Social highlight upcoming tech calendar

In our latest addition, WRAL TechWire is expanding its weekly calendar. Why?

Because more people than ever are looking to us for information and organizers are submitting an ever-increasing amount of events.So be sure to check each Monday for the latest event update.

WTW has details on four recent additions to the Triangle’s always busy technology events calendar: BlackGirls Code chapter launch; a Bandwidth.com hosted hackathon, the next Triangle Startup Weekend event, and an International Summer Social from the Organization of Women in International Trade.

Thanks in part to the folks at Innovate Raleigh and other sources, here’s a listing of all the technology (and some other) networking events, meetups and conferences coming up over the next few months.

But first, the new highlights:

BlackGirls Code, RDU chapter

The American Underground is partnering with BlackGirls Code to launch an RDU chapter on Wednesday, May 27 from 6-8 p.m. at AU@Main in Durham.

BlackGirls Code Executive Director Kimberly Bryant will say a few words and talk about plans for the organization and new chapter—exciting stuff and a huge opportunity for the Triangle to better integrate tech/ diversity, our friends at AU tell WTW.

TADHack coming to Triangle
