Booth Camp:
During the socializing hour from 6-7, we will setup some booths where we will have experts offering PHP tech support, Members asking advice on their own app, Members giving a show/tell demo of something their doing with PHP Technology. Our hope is that this will make good use of the social hour, and get our members more engaged with each other. Learn more here (https://www.meetup.com/bostonphp/messages/boards/thread/9979927)!
