On Thursday February 20th, Tech in Motion: San Francisco rallied local techies. The gathering took place at Wish bar in the SoMa district of San Francisco.
As drinks flowed, so did the conversations. San Francisco’s finest rolled into Wish Bar to discuss what tech trends they thought would hit big for 2014. For a Thursday evening, San Franciscan locals were more than happy to spend their free time learning a new name and adding a few more cards to their business card collection. Networking was in the air.
Tech in Motion conducted a survey to pin-point the leading topic of the night. There was no big surprise what they thought would hit the mainstream tech feed. The winner was Big Data - apache Hadoop!
