We're excited to announce the inaugural event of the Montreal Elixir Meetup on Wednesday, April 12th. For this first meetup, we're keeping things small and manageable to get things rolling. The event is hosted in our office located on the Plateau. There are a limited number of tickets due to space constraints. There is no charge for these tickets; it's just a way for us to manage the number of people attending.
