Be on twitter; Boston geek events get the word out through their twitter networks most of the time. You missed the most recent BarCampBoston, but the @BarCampBoston twitter account is supposed to be announcing interesting events. @02139now is a Central Square updates account (there's a network of these for other nearby areas). I'd go to http://www.webinnovatorsgroup.com/ http://www.webinnovatorsgroup.com/ when the next event happens, July 15th. It's very much a networking event, and it's been drawing huge crowds the past couple of times. Business / tech / investor mix. Information Superhighway is a geek party that usually happens once a month. May's hasn't been announced yet, monitor Tim Hwang's upcoming feed (or network on twitter) to find out when the next will be: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/256314/ http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/256314/ - 40-60 hackers / designers / academics. I'll second the recommendation for OpenCoffee (and browsing Meetup.com in general). Every Wednesday morning at Andala coffee house. 5-20 startup folk. http://www.meetup.com/OpenCoffee-Cambridge-Meetup/ http://www.meetup.com/OpenCoffee-Cambridge-Meetup/ I'd check http://www.marksguide.com http://www.marksguide.com for other professional events, and I generally browse http://upcoming.yahoo.org http://upcoming.yahoo.org for social stuff.
