The Mission

Remember when social networking meant going out for a martini with your colleagues? Too often, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google end up handling our relationships and solving our problems. IT Martini extends these web-based social networks in a way that’s thoughtful and FUN.

The IT Martini Goal: Connecting IT Professionals to their IT Community
with thoughtful and FUN events.

IT Martini events feature something for everyone in the IT Community: engaging networking, thoughtful professional development, innovative demos, and charitable giving. But there’s only one way to understand how it’s relevant to YOU: come to the next IT Martini Hour!
