On June 26th, 2022, the LebNet Bay Area community hosted a gathering event to meet with the Lebanese community in the tech industry and facilitate making new friendships, share ideas and collect feedback and thoughts for the upcoming year.

The event, which was the first in-person event in two years, drew around 50 people who gathered to network, get to know each other and brainstorm ideas to collaborate and grow the Bay Area community.

“We had a great time and met fantastic people. I’m certainly energized by the community and look forward to growing it!,” said Moussa Zeid, a LebNet Bay Area steering committee member.

“It was a great event. We got to meet amazing people in the community. I’m really excited for what’s to come!,” said Jeffrey Akiki, a Bay Area steering committee member.

“We got a great turnout and many new faces! Everyone was very excited about LebNet and the upcoming events. I heard a lot of requests for more casual happy hours. Some people were looking for connections for a job and funding as well,” added Nathalie Saade, who is also a steering committee member.

This event is one of many future events to come. If you are living in the Bay Area or in the neighboring areas and interested in attending our future events and joining the community, please visit this page for more information.
