We are passionate about growing Charlotte’s technologies (and future techies) in their journeys. We believe that an active and easy-to-engage tech community provides a better experience for individuals, enables growth, and supports the missions of so many active groups, ultimately bringing more attention and investment to the region.

Our intent in establishing CyberHype Charlotte is to provide a free platform that, through ‘hyping’ activities and events, connects people to that technology community, and further matures the connections within the community. We invite you to join the mission by sharing your events and tagging #CyberHypeCLT on all platforms.
