Germany Library at 900 N Ashley Drive, Tampa, FL 33602.  ProductHunt has become the biggest product launch platform for technology products since trade shows became toy fairs for deep-pocketed gadget lovers.  Startups do better if they include PH launch in their playbooks, and get it right. Product Hunt Tampa Bay Meetup goes a step further by aiming to help makers in the Tampa Bay Area showcase their work to a community of inventors and makers of all ages, while gaining an understanding of what is required to make their work ready for use by industry.  The event will be free to the public, and will feature manufacturing and other industry experts, juxtaposed with makers and inventors, so that startups that want to become enterprise-grade, have access to mentoring for a clear pathway from their garage to greatness.  The event is FREE but pre-registration is required.  Visit http://phTPA.eventbrite.com or click here to register for the Product Hunt Tampa Bay Area meetup.
