Where Jackson tech
goes after dark.
A monthly cocktail-hour for the people building, shipping, and investing in Mississippi tech. No badges. No name tags. No slide decks. Just a good drink and a better conversation.

Last Call for Strangers

The Idea
The room you wished existed in Jackson.
Tech After Dark is a monthly gathering for the people quietly building Mississippi's tech scene - software engineers and founders, designers and data folks, IT and cybersecurity, healthcare tech, fintech, agtech, govtech, and everyone in between. We're scattered across the greater Jackson area. Not big enough yet to call ourselves a hub, but more than enough of us to fill a room and make a night of it.
Once a month we close the laptops, find a good bar, and trade the Slack threads for an actual conversation. The goal is simple but not small: meaningful conversation and real connection between the tech folks of greater Jackson - the kind that turns into a hire, a co-founder, a deal, or a friendship. I built this event site to help that happen - to equip everyone in the room with real, useful ways to find each other and keep the conversation going long after last call.

How It Works
Built for the room, not the feed.
01
RSVP
Reserve your spot. As the night gets close we'll send the venue, the headliners, and a sense of who's coming.
02
Show up
Walk in, scan the door QR, and earn a stamp for the venue - kept forever in your passport.
03
Meet people
The morning before the event you'll see who's coming and who AI thinks you'd most want to meet based on what you came for - each with a tailored opening line so you can walk in prepared.
04
Stay in touch
Friending someone in person unlocks their contact info. The next morning a recap lands - who you met, what they're working on, and a one-tap connect to their socials.
