Next Week: A2 New Tech, Detroit Startup Drinks, and Beer:30 at the Tech Brewery

A full slate of events next week for the budding entrepreneur:

Ann Arbor New Tech Meetup December Meeting

First up is Ann Arbor New Tech, brought to you by a2geeks.  A2 New Tech is a group of people from various industries and backgrounds (e.g., entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, lawyers, marketers, students, etc.) interested in fostering local technology startups by organizing events, sharing resources, and building a supportive community.

Ann Arbor New Tech’s signature event takes place on the third Tuesday of each month, at 6:30 p.m., at Blau Auditorium, UM Ross School of Business, 701 Tappan Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104.  The monthly event features three to five companies who are each given five minutes to demo and five minutes to answer questions.  Open announcements and networking follows.

This month’s meetup is on Tuesday, December 14th.  The presenting companies on tap include SplinkMe (sponsorship platform for Influencers and Trendsetters), Ingenuitas (the “RedHat of embedded systems,” by the founders of Slashdot), Nutshell (next-gen, mobile CRM), and, last but not least, Mobiata (acquired by Expedia last month, almost exactly one year from their first A2 New Tech appearance).

Detroit Startup Drinks is Back!

Want more?  Come check out Detroit Startup Drinks, which took a small hiatus but is back and returning to the Whitney on Thursday, December 16th from 5:30-8 p.m.  Come on down and meet like-minded individuals looking to support startup culture, help each other out, and share ideas over a pint…or an eggnog if you’re so inclined.

More info over at the website.  Join the Facebook Group.  Don’t forget to RSVP.

Beer:30 at the Tech Brewery

Still haven’t had enough?  Well, you won’t want to miss Beer:30 at the Tech Brewery in Ann Arbor on Friday, December 17th.  What is the Tech Brewery exactly?  It’s a self-described “community of technologists, entrepreneurs, and startups.”  It started as a small group of individuals but eventually desks got pushed together, companies formed, and the place now boasts 37 full or part-time tenants! A complete list can be found on the website.  Beer:30 takes place every Friday at the Tech Brewery beginning around 4:30 p.m., and is a chance for tenants and visitors to network.  Recently, the Tech Brewery has selected one Friday per month as the “official Beer:30″.  Last month’s “official” outing had over eighty people in attendance.
