About this Event
Join us for another evening of genuine connections and great conversations at North Bay Code & Cocktails! After an incredible first event with 30 attendees from across the North Bay, we're back and ready to build on that momentum.
WHAT'S CONFIRMED:
Speed Networking — This was the highlight of our first event! We'll do small-group speed networking rounds where you'll meet 3-5 people in quick, relaxed conversations. It's low-pressure, easygoing, and designed to feel natural. Based on the amazing feedback, we're expanding this to 3-4 rounds so you can meet even more people.
Live Music — After the structured activities, stick around for free live music! The musical performance was a hit at our first event and adds the perfect atmosphere to end the evening.
HELP SHAPE THE EVENT:
We want YOU to decide what other activities we include! Visit our website and vote on which activities sound most interesting (pick up to 3):
• Side Project Swap — Share a shelved or abandoned idea anonymously and let others brainstorm improvements, pivots, or ridiculous directions
• One Tool That Changed My Life — Quick round where people share a tool, library, workflow, or trick that genuinely improved how they work
• Tech Trivia + Prize — Fast, fun trivia covering programming, tech culture, AI, and Silicon Valley history. Winner gets a drink or small prize
• Career Therapy Circle — Open, supportive discussion about job searching, burnout, career changes, wins, and next steps
• Hot Take Night — Share your spiciest tech opinions and debate them in a friendly, low-stakes way
• Pair-Up Challenge — Get paired with a random person to brainstorm an app idea, feature, or concept in a short time window
• Adopt a Tech Newbie Night — Short mentorship-style conversations between experienced folks and people newer to tech
• Anonymous AMA — Ask questions anonymously and discuss them as a group without pressure or posturing
The top-voted activities will be featured at the event! Your voice shapes what we do.

When: Second Monday of the month, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Where: The Big Easy, 128 American Alley, Petaluma, CA 94952

This is a relaxed, real event. No pressure to "do networking right" — just show up, talk to people, and see what happens. Whether you're a seasoned developer, designer, entrepreneur, or just curious about tech, you're welcome here.
We had people travel from Santa Rosa, Mill Valley, Napa, and throughout the North Bay to join us last time. Come be part of this growing community!
