PHP Meetup: October 2016

If you've been to the previous meetups in 2016, you know exactly what to expect. If you haven't been to the previous meetups in 2016, welcome!

Sticking to the old adage of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", we are continuing the trend of having the first half of the meetup as a networking session (plus food and drinks!) and then leading right into a round oflightning talks.

Where is it?

RED Academy - 200-1490 West Broadway (https://www.google.ca/maps/place/RED+Academy/@49.2634046,-123.1404133,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x548673c79e1ac4fb:0x7edde857c28340ba!8m2!3d49.2634011!4d-123.1382246)
