Let's get together and celebrate the holidays! This is a combined event for members of the following tech meetups in the San Francisco Bay Area. This meetup is sponsored by Microsoft, Design Mind, and Okta.

1. San Francisco Azure Meetup
2. Bay.NET meetups, including San Francisco, Berkeley, and Mt. View.
3. Microsoft Data Platform
4. PAC IT Pros
5. F# meetup
6. Silicon Valley C# meetup
7. Bay Area Microsoft BI User Group
8. San Francisco Power BI User Group

There's a lot of overlap in these groups! Let's get together with old friends and make some new friends, too!

We will have food (TBD), beer, and sodas and will have a handful of lightning talks -- 10 minutes at most -- about various topics.

Here are the planned lightning talks. Thanks very much to the volunteers!
