Mission
CODES exists to serve and grow the technology community in Syracuse, New York, through education, mentoring, and creating economic opportunity. In practice, that means free, recurring meetups that connect people with each other and with local opportunities. We aim to break even, not to grow an organization.
What it costs
Our meetups are free to attend, and they aren't free to run. Each one costs about $100–200 to put on, and the money goes to food, drinks and the venue.
