Always wanted to stay a bit in the Bay area to get to know the tech-scene and there is a cheap flight this Saturday; does it make sense to come to SF for 8 days?

What would you recommend to do? Go to meetups / what else? is there a website where I can see all cool events in SF for next week?

#4There's lots to see and do in the Bay Area (everywhere, not just SF). Do you have an itinerary in mind? Here's just a few of the things you can do:
- Hiking (tons of places with great trails e.g. Mt Tamalpais)
- Food
- Museums
- https://www.san-francisco-theater.com/
- Napa/Sonoma
- etc. etc.

#5Are you worried that you'll be bored? You certainly shouldn't be.
Worried that you have other things fighting for your attention that might be better uses of your time? That's a more personal question.

I think you may be looking for something like this, but for SF. Does anyone know if something like this exists? http://www.digital.nyc/events

#7I like your idea! I too have been interested in staying in a different city (NYC) to check out the tech-scene before considering relocating there. Though I've been to NYC probably 10+ times to visit family, I have yet to see if it's a place "tech-worthy" enough to consider making a home there (in the sense of having enough job opportunities, like-minded folk, etc).
I found this digital.nyc site which has a lot of resources. Perhaps SF has a similar site.
