Pereira Tech Talks

Monthly meetupsPereira Tech DaySpeaker SchoolLa Biblioteca del MañanaAI & Agents Channel

An open community to learn in public, share what you know, and grow alongside others. There is room for beginners, for those further along, and for anyone ready to mentor. We look for curiosity, new voices, and people ready to build — local talent with a global outlook and a shared purpose.

We are Pereira Tech Talks

We are an interdisciplinary community that connects local and regional talent — people who code, design, build companies, study, or are simply curious — around the technology we are building together.

We gather to share what we learn, open stages to new voices, and weave networks across Pereira, Risaralda, and the rest of LATAM. Meetups, Pereira Tech Day, the Speaker School, and more: volunteer-run, open spaces anyone can join.

If you are looking for people to grow with, a stage for your first talk, or a community that actually welcomes you — there is a place for you here. Explore, come to the next meetup, or write to us.
