Bendigo Tech Meetups Offer Networking for Business and Innovation Connections

The Bendigo Tech Community holds monthly gatherings on the 4th Tuesday of every month to connect, share ideas, and showcase projects. These sessions run alongside the Bendigo Developer Meetup, which meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month with pizza, beer, presentations, and casual conversations.

Monthly Gatherings Build Local Connections

The two recurring meetups provide consistent venues for participants to present work and discuss developments. Organisers schedule them on consecutive days each month, creating a regular rhythm for the community. Attendees use the sessions to exchange practical information on projects and tools.

The annual Bendigo Technology Festival is scheduled for Sunday, 4 May at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds from 10 am to 4 pm, showcasing electronics and radio communications.
