[HYBRID] November Golang Meetup

Upvest GmbH, 242 Prenzlauer Allee, Berlin, DE

Hello Gophers

Welcome back for another year of Go talks and networking!

For this event, all talk formats work: short talks (5-10 min) as well as regular length (25 min).

Would your company like to host this or another? Let us know!

If you'd like to give a talk - submit your proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/54YvJT223F

If you have more ideas - talk to us at the Gophers slack: https://invite.slack.gobridge.org/ in the #berlin channel, and follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/gdgberlingo

Join in person at:
Upvest GmbH, Prenzlauer Allee 242/247, 10405 Berlin
On the intersection of Prenzlauer Allee and Saarbrücker Str. you will find a big Augustiner Biergarten sign, where you can come upstairs and find our building almost in front of you, on top of their restaurant.
Follow the path to walk around the left or right hand side of the Augustiner restaurant (both ways work), and as you come to the "back" side of this building you'll find our entrance/reception at the left corner or the building.
We'll have a security guard at reception. After signing in (we'll have the guest list on the door), you can proceed directly to the 3rd floor via the lift where the event will take place. Toilets, drinks and snacks will be available on that floor. Floors 1 and 2 are not accessible to guests.
