Where to Network in March – Meetups, Conferences, and More

Each month All Hands share a post of events from around Taiwan. These events will span networking, professional learning, community gatherings, hiring, seminars, happy hours, and more. This will be a living list and is by no means comprehensive. If you know of a great event that should be included, please send us a message to let us know.

*Unless noted, most of these events are in Taipei and are in English, but we have not attended all of these series before. You should look into the event if you have any language concerns.

3/2 – Linux 核心設計: 作業系統術語及概念 – Linux webinar from a local expert – in Chinese but codes are universal languages, right? (Sharing because we get a lot of requests for programmer events.) (Free)

3/3-5 – Wind Energy Asia – The APAC Wind Energy Expo provides attendees the opportunity to join Taiwan’s first exhibition dedicated to supply chain development for Taiwan’s wind energy industry and provides a platform for companies to expand into neighboring markets such as Japan and South Korea, who are closely watching Taiwan as a likely blueprint for future development.
