Come to meet people from the local software development industry. We'll share tips and stories and find out who's doing what in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Make those network contacts that are so essential in our careers.
Each meeting opens with a short technical presentation to kick off our discussions. Then, following Q&A and possibly a door prize draw, we have our round-the-room introductions and open networking.
For the introductions we invite all participants to introduce themselves and to let us know what they'd like to talk with others about. This is when connections are made so think about what you would like to say beforehand, especially if speaking in front of a group seems difficult.
Of course our "network" is about more than just our meetings. Beyond our members' personal networks we have an opt-in mailing list plus our groups on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Yahoo! See our About Us page at http://softwaredev.meetup.com/17/about/ for more details.
Our December Social Meeting is Tuesday December the 8th .Besides the social gathering we will be talking about Networking for job and Contract Hunting.
So your presence is important for you and your fellow members.
This is all about getting to know each other in a friendly way. As usual the format is simple: fill out a name tag, introduce yourself to someone, and exchange business/contact cards as appropriate. Read more

“ Excellent Networking Event. Just a thought, maybe we can publish a contact list for all the people who attended? ”
