Digest #232
 
This week is packed with events, including the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup, MBEP's Regional Economic Summit, the Mini Maker Faire, 82% Micro Business Summit, and more. Check our Events section below or check events on our website. If you don't see a digest next week, it's because I was too busy going to events. Just sayin'.

Who wants to go to the Santa Cruz Mini Maker Faire this Saturday at Cabrillo College? I've got two free tickets each for the first two people who tweet: " I'm going to @scmakerfaire on Sat May 5. @sctechbeat, how about those free tickets? I subscribe to @sctechbeat for free weekly regional tech news. You can, too, at http://santacruztechbeat.com #santacruztech" (Follow up with an email to [email protected] so that I can email tickets to you.)

We have the news you need to know! Scroll down and starting reading.
