January Meetup

Hello everyone. We're back with our first event of the year at O'Brien's Irish Pub on Saturday, January 24th, 2026. Hope you can all make it out and hang out with us! The venue features an open-air patio (where we will be hosting our event, weather-permitting), and serves a familiar variety of pub food and drinks. Attendance is free, and we are currently looking for sponsorship to pay for a round of appetizers for attendees!

We currently do not have an agenda for the meeting, but if you are interested in giving a talk, please reach out and let us know. This is a great place to get speaking practice in a low-stakes, friendly environment.

Getting there

Car: There's a good deal of metered parking available on the nearby side streets, and its usually not too crowded on weekends. You can also park on the residential streets north of Wilshire (most are 2-hour parking districts during the day). Still, we'd recommend you consider carpooling if you can.

Bus: Big Blue Bus #2 stops directly across the street, and Big Blue Bus #1 stops at Santa Monica (which is just 2 blocks south). The nearest transit station is the 26th / Bergamot Station on the E-line, that lets out at Olympic (still a bit of a trek to the venue from there unfortunately).
