Tired of boring conferences filled with keynotes that you could also watch on YouTube? Fed up with speakers that fill their presentations with sales talk? We're doing it differently!

We'll start off with some beer and wine and an hour to meet your fellow meetup participants. Every time, we invite a panel of industry experts to answer the questions sent in by the audience: you! The panel has one hour to answer your questions and you're welcome to join the discussion. Afterwards, we'll serve you some great food and invite you to have a cocktail with us and the panel.

This really is an informal event. No business card required, only good food, great discussions and a lot of networking!
