HackerNest Detroit March Tech Social

Join us for the HackerNest Detroit March Tech Social!

HackerNest Tech Socials are a fun, relaxed way to connect with your local tech community. Atmosphere: chill, friendly, unpretentious, agenda-free (no sales pitch, yo), and brimming with UltraSmart(TM) people.

The typical Tech Social schedule:

- 7:00pm: folks arrive, grab drinks, socialize
- 8:00pm: quick intro, thank sponsors, quick announcements
- 8:10pm: back to chatting with interesting new friends
- 10:00pm: go home exhausted from great conversations

Follow us on Twitter and Instagram, like us on Facebook, hi-5 us in person. :)

RBC

RBC recently launched RBC Research, a team which supports RBC’s innovation strategy through fundamental scientific study and exploration in machine learning theory and applications with the goal of developing state-of-the-art financial technologies.

Quicken Loans

As a technology company that is amazing at writing mortgages, innovation is key in staying ahead. Therefore, we refuse to allow bureaucracy to rear its ugly head in any shape or form. In turn, we have created an atmosphere where participation and innovation are not only welcome, but encouraged and expected. We want our people to identify areas for improvement and act on them to make an impact. This empowers our team members to know that they are responsible for driving the company’s success. We've been on Computerworld's "Best Places to Work in IT" list for 11 years running, hitting #1 in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Sponsors make this growing movement possible, so we treasure and build deep, long-term relationships with the companies that endorse us. We're always looking for new friends! Please email [masked].
