PDX Code & Coffee - Beaverton @ Fly Chai

Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.

---- Schedule ----

Drop in at any time! Everyone has commitments from time to time so join us when you can!

Introductions are informal and unscheduled - practice your personal elevator pitch, or take things slower to build your confidence.

---- Venue ----

Fly Chai allow us to informally and freely use their space. If within your budget, we'd appreciate your help to sustain our use of the venue, by purchasing something tasty, whether Chai or otherwise.

Find us at tables with a Code&Coffee sign - or a group of laptop-users!

Wifi and power outlets are available.
The meeting area should be accessible - please let us know if you have concerns.

---- What to expect ---

• A smaller, less intimidating, lower pressure, cozy atmosphere.
• A mix of regular and new faces, week to week.
• A simpler schedule - every week, same time, same place - that you can drop into when you like.
