This remains an interactive Hybrid event. However, after excessive no-shows, we are splitting the meetup invites and only opening up our RSVPs three weeks out. Please only sign up for this event if you can definitely attend in person. We welcome everyone sign up for the online version.

Please remember to bring your I.D. if you are attending in person, as it is required to access the venue. Note the venue does not permit e-scooters or bicycles within the building. Thank you to our sponsors Avanade for providing this great space and yummy pizza!
