[IN PERSON] - Shorebird & Flutter Austin Community Social Happy Hour

🔥 Flutter Austin x Shorebird Community Night 🔥

We are SO excited to host a special evening for the Austin Flutter community as Eric Seidel, creator of the Flutter framework and Founder of Shorebird, comes to town!

Eric co-founded Flutter (among a wide range of other work) over his 14+ year stint at Google and later led the Flutter and Dart teams, helping grow it into one of the most widely used cross-platform frameworks in the world. After Google, Eric founded Shorebird.

Shorebird is building tools that make Flutter development faster and more flexible, best known for enabling instant over-the-air updates so teams can ship fixes and improvements without waiting on app store approvals, continuing his work within the framework from another vertical.

The entire Shorebird team will be in Austin, and we are bringing the community together for a relaxed and social night to connect, share ideas, and talk all things Flutter over some pizza and drinks.

Whether you are a full-time Flutter engineer, exploring the ecosystem, or just curious about where Flutter is headed, this is a rare opportunity to meet one of the people who started it all and connect with others in the space.

🍕 Pizza, beer, and great conversation
🤝 Casual networking with the Austin Flutter community
