It evolved over the years to the technology companies hosting the Homebrew Hillsborough Local Area Networking (LAN) event. This event brings together the companies and community to better understand technology and innovation in Hillsborough County and to better support one another, increasing connections, mentoring, job creation, and investment, and facilitating collaboration and innovation.
