This month we'll be featuring a talk by a member of our community on developer docs using MDX.

The event will be **in-person** and hosted at the **Loopio** office (310 Spadina Ave. #600, Toronto, ON M5T 2E8). We'll have drinks, food, and great conversation to boot.

**Topic:** Beyond Markdown: Enhancing Developer Docs with MDX on GitHub Pages

In today’s software development landscape, where efficient information dissemination is paramount, documentation websites play a pivotal role in empowering developers with the knowledge they need to build great products. While traditional documentation tools have served us well, it's time to take a leap forward and elevate the developer experience on our platforms by embracing the power of MDX in our documentation workflows.

Join us as we explore how we can leverage the power of MDX to build interactive and dynamic elements directly into documentation hosted on GitHub Pages.

**Key Takeaways:**

* Learn how MDX elevates the developer experience of a platform by incorporating interactive and dynamic elements directly into documentation.
* Discover how MDX written docs build upon the benefits of “Docs as code” and learn how MDX allows us to build reusable dynamic components by colocating our MDX components with our MDX files.
* Uncover how to unlock the full potential of MDX to provide an immersive and productive learning experience for developers, making documentation a joy to read, use, and contribute to.

**Schedule:**
6:00pm - 6:45pm - Get to the venue, eat, socialize!
6:45pm - 7:30pm - Announcements / presentations
7:30pm - 8:00pm - Hang out some more, ask questions
*Anyone who wants to keep chatting afterwards is welcome to head to a bar nearby as a group.*
