More about our meetups:
This is our first in what we expect to be a quarterly series held in Detroit Metro to highlight new and important technologies, companies, and ideas in ground vehicle engineering. We have hosted a similar monthly series for over three years in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, and I’ve received more and more requests to do the same for the Detroit community. So at long last, we are here!
What to expect:
Dress is casual, food and beverage (often incl. beer) are always provided, and there is a modest fee to help defray costs and to encourage commitment to RSVPs. There is ample opportunity to network, meet new people and interact with presenters. Content is intended for a technical audience.
We look forward to seeing you and hope you will come back as new events are posted -- also, check out the meetups we host in Silicon Valley and other regions.
