Hackaday LA May Meetup
Details
We've had two months of special Hackaday LA events that took place on the weekends - we really hope you enjoyed the Unconference and World Create Day! In May, we're going back to our regularly programmed weekday evening meetups.
Hackaday has launched The Hackaday Prize 2017 and Round 1: Design Your Concept has concluded. We're now kicking off Round 2: IoT :: IUT. That's Internet of Useful Things! We'll be sharing about the impressive Design Your Concept projects we received and what IoT :: IUT is all about. Join us on Tuesday, May 23!

Call For Lightning Talks
We will have reserved time for lightning talks. You'll get about two minutes to talk about a topic, Hackaday Prize project, announcements or are looking for project collaborators, get in touch with Dan Hienzsch (https://www.meetup.com/Hackaday-Los-Angeles/members/174355702/).
Don't forget to bring along your demos and Hackaday.io projects. You made it, so it's time to show if off. Extra points if you bring your #HackadayPrize project. Get feedback, ask for advice, or get people to join your team.
