We have the news you need to know.
It doesn't seem too long ago that I attended a then-new meetup event at the SCPD Community Room but now it's time to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup. We also have news about free wifi in Watsonville, UCSC's annual hackathon, Titans of Tech, Paystand, Plantronics, invention disclosure at UCSC, and exceeding expectations at Western Growers Center for Innovation and Technology.
As usual, there's more. Scroll down and start reading the news!
