What we’re about
iOSoho is New York City's largest and longest-running iOS Engineer Meetup. We're best known for our terrific technical talks. If you’re a software engineer who writes code for iOS apps, this Meetup is for you! If you’re an iOS-focused designer and product person, you’ll also find value in attending.
Our talks take place at offices of top tech employers in New York City. The program features two speakers presenting 20-minute technical talks, with 10 minutes of Q&A each. The rest of the time is for pizza, drinks, and hanging out. We've had super-interesting talks from Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, Spotify, Foursquare, Tumblr, Ladders, and more.
You should join if you’re actively involved in mobile development and want to learn, meet, and exchange ideas with others in the space. We'd love to have you as part of our 3,000+ community!
iOSoho is a group for people who work on mobile engineering teams. We accept applicants who are engineers, students, engineering managers, and product and design professionals working in mobile. We do not accept business people, "entrepreneurs", marketing, recruiting, "seeking co-founders", or casually interested professionals from other fields.
