Tech Liminal is a technology hotspot salon located in uptown Oakland. Tech Liminal works to build a strong independent tech innovation ecosystem in Oakland through support of community Meetups, open hack nights, tech events (such as Code for Oakland), and other initiatives.
Tech Liminal started as Oakland's earliest coworking space on 14th Street in downtown Oakland back in 2009. Some initial programs included weekend un-conferences for Bloggers and newsmakers, in collaboration with local startup news concerns. In 2013, Tech Liminal moved to a high rise building on 12th Street within a block of Old Oakland. At this location, WordPress Support Meetups expanded, innovative programs including STEAM Camp for Middle School Girls were launched, and The Product Summit conference, as well as many interesting intellectual meetups were hosted. In 2016, Tech Liminal moved into the Port Workspaces at Kaiser Mall on 20th Street in Oakland, California.
Tech Liminal 3.0 represents a refined focus on the core mission: to infuse collaboration into groups and individuals working with technology through in-person working sessions and Group Project Accelerator Programs.
