Tech weekend is a three-day residential networking weekend designed to connect founders, investors, and engineers in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. With a residential pass, you'll enjoy a 3-day, 2-night stay at Draper University's beautiful campus, featuring fully furnished rooms with attached baths, providing a comfortable and convenient accommodation experience for the attendees and a day pass grants access to the activities and sessions of the Tech Weekend but it does not cover your overnight accommodation.
This event will take place at Draper University, located in the heart of Downtown San Mateo, California. Draper University is a premier destination for innovators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. The site boasts fully furnished accommodations, a co-working office, game rooms, a fitness studio, refreshing swimming pool, a BBQ pit and unlimited coffee. You'll have access to all the amenities you need to stay productive and focused, while also having fun and making new connections.
