About NM Tech Talks

In 2024, Techqueria NM and Google Developers Group Albuquerque came together to create "TechFest." In 2025, we expanded our large event to include NMClimate, HealthInno and New Mexico Startup Factory. That event sparked the need for a collaborative, where organizations can co-host and plan events together, building a unified ecosystem in New Mexico.

NM Tech Talks is a collaborative of tech organizations working together to bring an inclusive tech community in New Mexico. Our mission is to unify tech organizations in NM and break down silos between groups via co-branded events and initiatives.
