We are in the last quarter of 2016 and the number of tech events available to the tech community is on the rise. Picking out the events worth devoting time and energy to can be time consuming sometimes when the venue locations are far apart.

Here is a list of tech events happening this week that I think may be worth your time depending on your location. Some of these events require a fee before entry can be granted but registration is free to all.
