NetSquared Camp: Downunder

In November, NetSquared groups in Adelaide (https://www.meetup.com/NetSquaredAdelaide/), Auckland (https://www.meetup.com/AuckNet2/), Melbourne (https://www.meetup.com/The-Melbourne-NetSquared-Meetup-Group/) and Wellington will be teaming up for the first “NetSquared (virtual) camp: downunder.”

NetSquared Camp: Downunder will be a live event with a difference. Each city will host a presenter who will be live-streamed online, with audiences in all four cities tuning in.

What is a NetSquared Camp?

NetSquared Camps are being run all around the globe to bring people together to collaborate on projects. Our project? A regional meetup using online streaming and tools we have on hand. Not only will it be a good test to see if our tech manages, but it will be a great way to meet people from meetups in other cities.

Join us in-person, in Wellington

Join us in person at a venue in inner city Wellington and hear from our own local speaker and from the speakers in the other cities.

This is going to be a unique NetSquared event and will showcase some of the great stuff happening in Australia and New Zealand.
