The Brattleboro Area Techies will meet May 21st, 5:30pm at the Estey Millworks Building in Brattleboro. The meeting will be at #118-201 Birge Street in Brattleboro.
Everyone is invited who works with, or is interested in, technology in the Brattleboro area, from makers to programmers to artists.
We’ll meet at Estey Millworks, a huge, mostly empty building behind the Estey Organ factory. This is one of the better options we’ve seen in town for a possible community makerspace. The building has three 4000 sq foot floors, power, heat, a spray booth, freight elevator, views, and a loading dock. Right now a two-person custom furniture company, esteymillwork.com, is the only tenant. They are interested in filling up the building somehow with other maker-type folk.
The meeting will be devoted to introductions, informal networking and a tour of the building.
Brattleboro Area Techies is a networking group for those interested and/or working in technology in the greater Brattleboro area. The group gathers to informally network, discuss and provide people with an excuse to get out from behind their computers. The group includes designers, makers, educators, programmers, freelancers, videographers, artists, consultants and business people who work in these fields. There is no cost.

Excellent choice for space. The property is alive with the spirit of inventing and making, and the buildings are perfect for it. Rooms outside for testing of things, too.
