One of the best things about the tech community is the spirit of collaboration. No group is an island, and we grow faster and stronger when we work together. That's why, as we launch RGVDevs, we are incredibly excited and honored to announce our formal partnership with our friends at RGV Cyber.
From the very beginning, the team at RGV Cyber has been a tremendous supporter of our mission to build a dedicated .NET user group in the Rio Grande Valley. This collaboration is our first and most important step in creating a connected, vibrant, and resource-rich tech ecosystem for everyone in the RGV.
Who is RGV Cyber?
For those who may not know, RGV Cyber is a cornerstone of our local tech scene. As a non-profit organization, their mission is to foster a robust cybersecurity community through education, networking, and professional development. They host fantastic monthly meetups, workshops, and manage one of the most active tech-focused Discord servers in the region.
They are doing essential work to elevate the tech landscape in the RGV, and we couldn't ask for a better partner.
