Personio's Platform & Pizzas (Online Event) #2

Personio's Platform & Pizzas #2 (Online Event)

Join us for our second Platform & Pizzas meet-up, where we talk about Platform Engineering and eat pizzas.

Unfortunately due to recent increases in covid numbers & restrictions we're taking Personio's Platform and Pizzas - December meet-up - fully online.

We're disappointed we can't meet you all in person here in our Dublin office but we'll have to eat some pizza in the comfort of our own homes this time around until we can go back to meeting in person (hopefully early next year!) :)

With that being said, we have some excellent speakers and topics to cover on December 7th and we're looking forward to meeting and welcoming you virtually on the night! Our aim is to make these in person tech meet-ups happen as much as possible in the future when it's safe to do so.
