At The Shop at the CAC, we believe coworking is more than just shared desks and fast Wi-Fi—it’s about creating meaningful connections and building a thriving, collaborative community. That’s why we’re proud to host a variety of free monthly programming that brings together some of the most passionate minds in New Orleans across industries like tech, gaming, and biotech. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting out, there’s a place for you at the table—literally!

One of our most popular recurring events is Tech Talk NOLA, held every last Tuesday of the month from 6–8 p.m. on the 3rd floor of The Shop. This meetup is a hub for everyone in the local tech ecosystem—developers, project managers, recruiters, scrum masters, students, executives, and more. It’s a welcoming space to share ideas, make connections, and stay inspired in an ever-evolving industry.

For those passionate about game creation and digital storytelling, New Orleans Game Developers meets monthly to support and showcase the local gamedev community. From project showcases and tech demos to hands-on workshops and networking sessions, each month offers something new for anyone interested in game development—whether you’re coding your first indie game or have years of industry experience.

And for the biotech-minded, Nucleate New Orleans is building a collaborative future by empowering the next generation of life science leaders. This student-led nonprofit brings together professionals and students focused on solving critical challenges in healthcare, sustainability, and medical technology. Nucleate offers an inspiring space for networking, mentorship, and translating research into real-world impact.

These events are always free to attend, open to the public, and a great way to see the collaborative spirit of The Shop in action.
