Startup Drinks is a simple concept: startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.

The Tucson version of this group meets on the last Tuesday of every month (generally, this is a special meeting, and we will do another at the end of August most likely).

When: Tuesday, June 30th beginning at 7 pm

Where: Creative Slice (115 E. Broadway Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85701) map it
