What we’re about
New Tech Tacoma is a sister event to New Tech Northwest's New Tech Seattle and New Tech Eastside events. NTS and NTE are Seattle's largest ongoing monthly events because we have a neighborhood block party vibe when everyone interested in innovation is welcome to attend.
You're invited to join our New Tech Northwest community with over 30,000 members and 600+ monthly attendees at New Tech events. Join us to connect with the people and resources that will take your tech career or company to the next level! Please join this group for great complimentary fun, food, drinks, presentations and connections with the Tacoma tech community.

When anyone gets off a plane at SeaTac and says "I want to tap into the Seattle tech community," whoever they're talking to says - "You need to go to New Tech."
It's your community, we just love it and give everyone a place to play together. Want to know more? Visit our website, watch our past presentation videos (from companies you've never heard of as well as companies including Nordstrom, ebay, GoDaddy, Zillow, Moz and Microsoft) and recorded live streams of events on our Facebook page.
Thanks for joining the group. We look forward to seeing you at New Tech Tacoma!
See you around town,
Brett Greene

April 18th Hot Topic – Stay Motivated and Accountable
Navigating the challenges of ADHD and motivation can sometimes feel like a struggle, even with a daily planner in hand. Tasks that seem mundane or repetitive can be especially daunting for adults with ADHD, as traditional motivation techniques may not always hit the mark. While the tendency to rely on urgent deadlines is common, there's hope in experimenting with new approaches and finding resources tailored to individual needs. Understanding that ADHD isn't simply a matter of willpower, but rather a complex brain chemistry can alleviate some of the frustration in managing motivation and tasks effectively.

You are not alone. Come join a community of peers where you can safely discuss your neurodiverse experiences with a supportive community of peers once month.
You can attend these virtual Meetups on the third Thursday of every month. The more Meetups you attend, the more peer connections you’ll make with other professionals who have neurodiverse brains like you. Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.
Join us to be welcomed into a community that gets you and lives with similar neurodiverse brains.
During the Meetups we’ll share struggles as well as systems and strategies to overcome your executive functioning and working memory challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, miscommunication, interrupting, inattentiveness, stress, distractibility, procrastination, paperwork fails, imposter syndrome, having to mask your neurodiversity at work, and weak organization skills.
