Tech After Five connects the tech community. We invite IT Professionals, Startups, Entrepreneurs and their community of support to come together and make meaningful professional connections.
We are at a new location! We now meet in North Charleston at the Reforged Gaming Lounge! Meetings are on the 4th Tuesday of EVERY MONTH!
Grab your ticket! Tell your friends!
You may be looking for work or looking to hire. You might be looking for customers or prospects. You may need co-founders, partners or mentors. We’ve got you covered.
Tech After Five is not like other networking events. We work particularly hard to make sure we get the right people in the room and then make sure it’s easy for you to find each other. Sign up using the right ticket type for you. We will then follow up with custom emails that let you know who you can expect to meet. We will print custom badges for the event that make it easy for you to find the people you are looking for.
We know that networking can be hard. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to meet the right people. We know that when smart people come together we can make things happen. We hope you will join us and become part of our community.
Every week, 1 Million Cups gives entrepreneurs a platform to present their business to a supportive community for ideas and connections to grow it. It's not a pitch; it's a chance to learn and collaborate.

Not your traditional after hours networking event. For Liberty Networking, we use our quarterly socials to help raise money for non profits. This month, we'll be raising money for EASE, our non-profit member who helps the deaf and hard of hearing community by enabling more accessible communication throughout their community. You can learn more about EASE here: https://www.easesc.org/ Come network with other businesses and help raise funds for this great organization.

Row for Recovery is a September-long campaign hosted by the young adult mental health nonprofit Quest in order to raise awareness for young adult mental health and recovery. Throughout the month, our community is hosting free paddleboarding sessions to share inspiring recovery stories through our “30 Stories in 30 Days” series. This movement brings people together to break the stigma around mental health and show that no one has to struggle alone. What We’re Raising Funds For This year, all funds raised will go toward expanding Quest on Campus, our student-led mental health awareness program. We’re growing our reach to now serve students at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, while continuing our work at the College of Charleston. Your support will help us provide more peer-led events, wellness resources, and safe spaces for open conversation, empowering young adults to find hope, connection, and resilience.
