The NC TECH Association is known for its original programming serving the tech sector across North Carolina.

Though the organization is headquartered in the Triangle demographic, it also has a presence in Charlotte, the Triad and Wilmington—hosting regular events at the startup hubs in those cities. It also hosts occasional webinars, open to anyone anywhere.

And since NC TECH’s lunch and learns, workshops, talks, panels and socials are frequent additions to our community calendar, we decided to highlight them in a roundup.

Here’s a lineup of upcoming NC TECH events through the end of the year:
