Meetup Mashup Night - Presented by Skookum and Red Ventures

Come out for Meetup Mashup Night!

We'll be hosting a series of "lightning talks" on a variety of technical and design related topics from professionals working in the Charlotte area. We'll be joining with several other Meetup community members from a variety of groups here in Charlotte to learn about the larger technology community, and gain some knowledge outside of our regular iOS-specific format.

Pizza and drinks will be provided as usual, but we'll get started just a bit earlier to accommodate all of the speakers.
