Community Room

Join the Princeton Tech Meetup community for an evening of networking, collaboration, and an insightful presentation by Jasper Geurts on "Managing Technical Debt in a Systematic Way."

As technical debt accumulates, it can slow down innovation and increase long-term costs. In this session, Jasper Geurts, Managing Director of SIG Americas, will share proven strategies for identifying, measuring, and managing technical debt effectively. Learn how to make informed decisions that balance short-term deliverables with long-term system health. Whether you're a CTO, software engineer, or product leader, this talk will provide actionable insights to improve your software’s maintainability and scalability.

Registration through Princeton Tech Meetup is requested (but not required) so we can plan properly for the event; the presentation is open to all. Modeled after Tech Meetup groups in New York, Hoboken and Philadelphia, the goal of Princeton Tech Meetup is to bring technically-minded people together to benefit from each other’s advice, knowledge, perspective and energy.
