Please note these talks are primarily beginner to intermediate. There will be some content on advanced techniques and resources & references provided to help folks out. A follow-up event is being planned. Please let me know if you would like to participate.
The IBM doors become locked at 6, and so we will be there to let folks in. After the event starts, we will check every few minutes to let folks in. More on directions and transportation at the end of this page.

Please note the entrance is more towards 1st street & Bent Street then Rogers X Commercial Ave. There are walkways throughout this area so one can get to the entrance a variety of ways.
Mass Transit: Lechmere subway stop is on other side of Cambridgeside Mall. Kendall a little further away.
Parking: Cambridgeside Mall has a garage, and there is another on Spring Street. I think around 3-4$. If you have a Cambridge parking permit, then 2nd Street, side streets usually have open spots.
Social Networking and Car Pooling :) just thought to throw this out there.
