Social Tech Brewing Co.

Social Tech Brewing is an informal gathering of people working on, or interested in, the intersection of technology and social change. The simple mandate is to bring together people from tech, business and local not-for-profit organizations to discuss how technology can be used for positive social change.

Social Tech Brewing gatherings are informal and relaxed 'no-pitch' environments where tech developers and innovators can meet and connect with activists, staff and supporters of social causes, non-profits and grassroots organizations. A typical Social Tech Brewing meeting starts with a round of introductions, followed by an information or demo session on a topic or theme of interest, and closing with an opportunity for questions and discussions. Drinks at a local pub may follow the close of the session.

Social Tech Brewing is similar to groups like Green Drinks and 501 Tech Clubs. Social Tech Brewing groups have been active in recent years in Vancouver, Toronto and Australia, and in Ottawa since 2007.
