Mini Mingle 2026

A More Intimate Night of Startup Networking

What Is Mini Mingle?

For years, March Mingle has been San Diego’s largest tech celebration. In 2026, we’re intentionally shifting the focus. We realized that in a room of 500 people, the most valuable connections often happen in the quiet corners.

Mini Mingle is just that, a mini, high-density networking experience designed for those who value quality over quantity. We’ve traded the massive halls for the storied atmosphere of the Aero Club Bar, limiting attendance to ensure every conversation has the potential to lead to your next big breakthrough.
