Hundreds Attend August Meetup 

August 18, 2025

Turnout was huge for the August meetup held on Tuesday evening, August 12 at Fidelity Investments in the RTP.

Taylor Desseyn, VP of Global Community at Torc.dev, delivered a 15-minute overview of the current technology jobs landscape titled “Tech Hiring Isn’t Dead”, then he moderated a panel discussion with hiring managers and employment thought leaders from Fidelity Investments, Bandwidth, and Randstad. 

The audience was enthusiastic and fully engaged as the Q&A session had to be extended by 10-15 minutes due to the number of questions asked. Overall interest in the topic was tremendous.
