At 6'o'clock sharp, the first members began to arrive. ![© Irina Bourova Photography https://irinabourova.shutterfly.com](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png) Tech in Motion members flooded the bar in what seemed like one swift moment. Within fifteen minutes, the place was packed as members mingled and networked over Oktoberfest themed beers and bar foods. Business cards were exchanged as pretzels and brats filled the room. However, the exciting part of the evening - tech trivia - didn't kick off until 7 p.m. \ Members gathered in groups of five and created team names. The nine teams that played  got creative with names like “Sudo Win” and “Techmania.” As they settled in with score cards and a strong sense of competition, the emcee took the stage. He introduced the competition along with the sponsors for the evening, [Jobspring Partners](http://www.jobspringpartners.com/), [Workbridge Associates](http://www.workbridgeassociates.com/) and [Bindle](http://www.bindlechat.com/). **[Click here to learn more about becoming a Tech in Motion sponsor.](http://www.techinmotionevents.com/sponsors)** The competition quickly got underway, and it was fierce for the get-go. Questions were flying like  “when was the first iPod sold?” and “what does HTML stand for?” Cheers and sighs were heard from the members as the answers were revealed. ![© Irina Bourova Photography https://irinabourova.shutterfly.com](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png) As the competition continued it was clear that it would be a tight race. Eventually the game came to a close, and the winners were announced. A huge congratulations was extended to team “Logical Valacy” who won the game by one point. They cheered and collected their Target gift card prizes (below). ![IMG_5271jpgjpg](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png) While the competition was over, the networking carried on through the evening. Members continued to mingle and exchange friendly, competitive banter. Eventually around 8:30 p.m., the booths came down and the emcee wrapped up his microphone as Tech in Motion San Francisco's Tech Trivia came to a close. Members exited the doors of Southside Spirit House having learned new tech facts and made new connections.
