  “ This group has an intelligent and easygoing vibe. And after a long day's work, the dinner included is an added enticement to attend. Because this CIO meetup is in Silicon Valley, close to headquarters of hundreds of tech firms, these events give an inside look into the latest advances in technology. The people who attend and present tend to be local professionals who work in a tech-related field in the San Francisco Bay Area. Location of meetups is easy to find, near Highway 101 in Mountain View. Good food, good vibe, very useful group for professional development. ”
