Building AI Powered Features + World-class networking, food and swag

*Update - we reached our limit of 100 RSVPs pretty quickly! However, we encourage you to sign up for the Waiting List. We will soon announce another complimentary event on the same night that everyone else can attend! Stay tuned for the big news!

Meetup Description:
Big news! We're hosting one last meetup before All Things Open 2024 - and it is going to be fantastic!

The venue is a brand new one for us - the Bandwidth Raleigh Office, which is a brand new state-of-the-art facility housing the Bandwidth company. We'll be in their training rooms, which are extremely nice.

Note, doors open at 6:00 pm for networking, food and beverages. Live programming begins at 6:30 sharp with announcements and thank you's.

IMPORTANT - ONLY 100 RSVPs ALLOWED
Because we're using the training rooms, RSVPs can't exceed 100. So, please hurry as RSVPs will be cut off after the first 100. We apologize in advance for this.

Bring photo ID: All visitors will check in at the front desk and name badge will be printed. All attendees will be walked back to the meetup area.

Venue Address:
Bandwidth Raleigh Office

Raleigh, NC 27607
