CEBU'S FIRST Tech Night: Where Tech Communities Connect and Converse
CEBU'S FIRST Community Mixer: A Melting Pot of Ideas | Held in enspace Cebu
Sponsored by The Graph Philippines with enspace Cebu as the venue partner gives a cozy social gathering that brought together members from GDG, Pizza Py, Web3 Cebu, ReactJS Cebu, Cebu Blockchain Group, Laravel Cebu, and Javascript Cebu. Everyone got a chance to step up, introduce themselves, and chat about their communities.?
Each community had its unique flavor, its own story to tell. The room was filled with chatter, laughter, and the occasional "Aha!" moment as people discovered common interests and potential collaborations.
It was like a tech-themed speed dating event, but instead of looking for love, we were building legit tech connections.
The Graph Philippines: The Future is Here
Then came Don, our community partner from The Graph Philippines, who introduced us to the world of decentralized applications (dApps). He talked about how these technologies are changing the tech landscape. It was like getting a sneak peek into the future, and let me tell you, it looks exciting!
Engaging Minds: Trivia Time and Thought-Provoking Discussions
Next up was the trivia portion. It was like a tech-themed quiz show, with questions about emerging tech that's still flying under the radar. It was a fun way to learn new things and see who among us was the hidden tech whizzes.
But Tech Night wasn't just a semi-formal discussion, it was also about casual tech networking. It was like a mixer where everyone got to meet, greet, and connect with the tech communities present at the event.
The State of Tech Communities in the Philippines
One of the highlights of the night was a group discussion facilitated by BJ from PizzaPy. We talked about everything from the struggles of the tech community in Zamboanga city, to the challenges of preserving the community culture from getting mixed up with commercial agendas, and the need for diversity and inclusivity in tech. It was a deep dive into the issues that matter, and it sparked some insightful conversations.

Keeping the Conversation Going
To keep the momentum going, sphERA created a Messenger Group chat for all the communities that joined Tech Night. It's a space for us to continue our discussions, share ideas, and plan for future collaborations. To foster that feeling of belongingness.
