Refresh Boston
another refreshing city
Thanks to Our Sponsors
Without help from sponsors, Refresh Boston would not be what it is today. With generous donations of venue, food, drinks, books and more, we're able to make our monthly meetings even better. And thanks to the wonderful speakers that give their time to the community, we always have a great topic to talk about each time we meet.
Can You Help?
Are you interested in supporting Refresh Boston and the local web community in order to help with meetings in the coming months? Thanks to Microsoft, our venue is taken care of for the foreseeable future, but we still need speakers, donations for appetizers & giveaways for upcoming events.
Send us an email if you'd like to support Refresh Boston.

- Your name, logo, and a link to your site on the Refresh Boston website
