May Lightning Talks

We'll be honest, speaking for an entire meetup session can be a little intimidating, so we reached out to our members to see if they had anything they might want to talk about for 10 minutes or less... And they did!

This month, our event will be put together with a bunch of speakers from the Calgary Software Crafters. Come hear our members speak on a variety of really cool things!

This time around, our speakers are talking about:
