WordPress 2017 kick-off: Drinks & Networking

The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring together people of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals.

To celebrate the start of the year, we’ve reserved some spots from Steam (http://steamhellsinki.fi/) opposite of Teerenpeli in Kamppi. This will be an informal get together and everyone is welcome! For those of you who are attending for the first time, this will be a perfect opportunity for you to meet some of the members from the community and hear about what we have in store for you in 2017.

Steam is well known for its gin & tonics, but if beer or nonalcoholic beverages are more your thing, you can also get those from the bar. We won’t be serving any food, so we suggest you grab a bite to eat before coming.

We don’t know how long this will last, but the reservation starts at 17:30.

As always, bring your laptops along if you need help with any WordPress-related issues. There are always people there who will be able to help you or point you in the right direction.

If you have any questions, give us a shout on the #meetups-helsinki channel on Slack (https://www.meetup.com/WPHelsinki/pages/Slack/) or leave a comment in the event on Meetup.com.

See you at Steam!
