Get Involved

Join a Meetup

One of the easiest ways to get involved is to join a local meetup group. Check out our Meetups page for a list of active groups in the area. Attend events, network with other professionals, and learn new skills.

Join Online Communities

Can't make it to in-person events? Join one of the many online communities for tech professionals in Hampton Roads. The 757dev Slack is a great place to start.

Speak at a Meetup

Have knowledge to share? Consider speaking at a local meetup. Most groups are always looking for speakers, and it's a great way to build your personal brand and give back to the community.

Organize an Event

If you see a gap in the community, consider organizing your own event. It could be a small workshop, a conference, or even a new regular meetup group. The community will support you!

Not sure if there's enough interest in your topic? Consider reaching out to 757 Developers on Meetup to host a session first. It's a great way to test your topic and gauge interest before committing to starting your own meetup group.

Volunteer

Many tech events in the area need volunteers. It's a great way to meet people and contribute to the community. Reach out to event organizers to see how you can help.

Mentor Others

Share your knowledge and experience by mentoring others. This could be through formal programs or just by being available to answer questions and provide guidance to those who are just starting out.

Support Local Organizations

Organizations like RevolutionVA are working to support and grow the tech community in Hampton Roads. Consider donating or volunteering to support their efforts.
