About this event
VENDIMIA TECH x ChileDAO brings together people who care about technology, community, and the conversations shaping what gets built next. If you want an in-person meetup that feels grounded, social, and actually useful for meeting others in the local ecosystem, this is the kind of room you’ll want to be in. Set in Santiago at Open Beauchef, this event creates space for builders, curious newcomers, and community-minded professionals to connect face to face. It’s a chance to step out of the feed, trade ideas in real time, and plug into a network that spans tech, collaboration, and emerging digital communities. About the Event VENDIMIA TECH x ChileDAO is an in-person meetup designed around connection, conversation, and shared curiosity. The combination of a tech-focused community and ChileDAO suggests a gathering where people can explore ideas at the intersection of technology, open collaboration, and local ecosystem building. Rather than treating networking as an afterthought, this event puts community at the center. Expect a social format where meeting people is part of the point: conversations that start casually, introductions that lead somewhere, and a setting that supports both first-time attendees and regulars. Because this is a meetup, the value is in the people in the room as much as the program itself. You’re not just attending to listen; you’re attending to participate, ask questions, share what you’re working on, and hear what others are seeing across the tech and community landscape in Chile. What to Expect You can expect a mix of structured and unstructured moments, with enough shape to make the gathering feel intentional and enough flexibility to let real conversations happen. In practice, that usually means arriving, getting oriented, meeting people early, and then settling into a rhythm of discussion and exchange. Likely highlights of the experience include: Community introductions and informal networking that make it easier to get into conversation without forcing it. Tech and ecosystem conversations with people working across startups, digital communities, experimentation, and collaboration. Meetup-style interactions where you can move between listening, asking, and sharing rather than staying in one mode all afternoon. A social atmosphere that makes room for both serious ideas and relaxed connection. For some attendees, the most valuable part will be discovering who else is building, exploring, or organizing in Santiago right now. For others, it will be the chance to test an idea out loud, compare notes with people from different corners of the ecosystem, or simply build momentum by being around others who are engaged. This event is also a good fit if you prefer in-person interaction over purely online communities. There is a difference between seeing names on a screen and meeting people in the same room. Trust forms faster, follow-up is easier, and the conversations tend to get more specific, practical, and memorable. Why Attend If you work in or around tech, one of the hardest things to find is a room with the right mix of openness and substance. This meetup aims to offer exactly that: a place where you can have accessible conversations without sacrificing depth, and where community is not just a backdrop but a meaningful part of the event. Attending can help you: Expand your local network with people who are active in tech and community spaces. Get a clearer sense of what’s happening in Santiago through direct conversations with peers. Find collaborators, friends, or future partners by meeting people in a more natural setting than a cold outreach message. Stay connected to emerging ideas around technology, coordination, and community-led initiatives. Show up in the ecosystem in a visible, human way that builds stronger long-term relationships. There’s also value in simply being present. Not every important opportunity starts as a formal pitch or scheduled meeting. Sometimes it starts with a quick introduction, a shared problem, or a conversation that makes you realize someone else has been thinking about the same thing from a different angle. If you’ve been looking for a reason to reconnect with the local scene, this is a strong one. And if you’re newer to it, the meetup format can make that first step much easier than trying to navigate the ecosystem alone. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Santiago, Chile, hosted at Open Beauchef (U. de Chile), located at Av. Beauchef 851, Torre Sur Poniente, Piso 2, Santiago Centro. If you’re planning to attend, give yourself enough time to arrive, find the building, and get settled before things begin. The event takes place on Wednesday, March 25 at 2:00 PM GMT-3. Since it starts in the afternoon, it works well for people who want to break up the week with a live community touchpoint and still have time for conversations that continue beyond a quick hello. A few useful things to keep in mind: This is a social, community-oriented meetup, so come ready to introduce yourself and talk about what interests you. Bring context, not a script: a short explanation of what you do, what you’re exploring, or what kinds of people you’d like to meet will go a long way. Expect an in-person university-linked venue setting, which usually rewards arriving on time and paying attention to building access and wayfinding. Leave room for serendipity: the best outcome may not be the one you planned before walking in. If your goal is to meet thoughtful people in tech, plug into community energy in Santiago, and spend an afternoon in conversations that can actually lead somewhere, VENDIMIA TECH x ChileDAO is worth showing up for.
