Night of 1000 Stars:

A Night to Share, Inspire, and Shine!

Night of 1000 Stars is a festive evening where our vibrant tech community gathers to celebrate creativity, knowledge, and the holiday spirit. Unlike traditional events, this night is shaped entirely by you—the attendees! 15 of our own have volunteered to present short, engaging sessions on any topic of their choice, spanning just 5–7 minutes each. From fascinating tech tidbits to unexpected personal stories, every presentation adds a unique sparkle to the night. You never know what you’ll learn, but you’re guaranteed to leave inspired.

This casual and welcoming event is all about fun and celebration. With nearly 100 exciting prizes up for grabs, including some worth up to $150, everyone has a chance to win! Trivia questions throughout the evening give you the opportunity to select a prize, while our special raffles for the very best prizes add an extra layer of excitement. Earn raffle tickets at registration, by answering trivia, or even by promoting #LISUG on social media. It’s a chance to share, connect, and embrace the season’s joy while discovering new ideas. Come for the stories, stay for the surprises, and make memories that will shine brightly long after the night ends!
