Tech Titans Gather at FlexEtc Plano for a Warehouse Happy Hour Tech Titans gathered at FlexEtc Plano for the February Member Connections Happy Hour, which brought out a fun batch of North Texas professionals, who stayed a while mixing with FlexEtc members over beer donated by Lakewood Brewing Company, LLC. Toasting Temptress and Stub’s, Shawn Gault from FlexEtc welcomed guests to the staged warehouse at the heart of George Bush and Plano Parkway with an epic view of the Tech Titan that started it all, Texas Instruments! A very special thanks to FlexEtc members Strudel3D, who opened their space where they 3D print mechanical fidgets; Consignment Crush, which staged the event space and extended shopping hours for the night; Zimpty, who displayed their tools; and Croatian Mafia Cigars for showcasing their cigars, which have recently earned top ratings. #flexetc #planotx #entrepreneur?
