We began the SRE Tech Talk program in New York City in January 2016.
Participants came from over fifty different companies, ranging from
startups to large tech companies to finance firms. University students
interested in learning about SRE were also welcome. Over 100 people typically
came to each event, capacity permitting.
Events were typically held at Google's campus in the Chelsea district of
Manhattan, usually on the third Wednesday of each month.
We typically opened the doors for networking and socializing at 5:30pm, with
food arriving at 6pm and talks beginning at 6:30pm.
No recruiters or press were allowed at these events, in order to facilitate the
event's focus on professional development and networking.
Google and our co-sponsors are dedicated to providing a harassment-free and
inclusive conference experience for everyone, and our Event Community
Guidelines
applied to this event.
