Event Type: Meetups
Add-on meetups are a great way to show interested developers how easy it is to create add-ons using the Builder and SDK. They are also an excellent platform for authors to demo add-ons they have created. It's simple to set one up and let the knowledge-sharing and mingling begin!
Venue
Moz Spaces are ideal for this type of meetup, because there is a presentation/demo portion and a socializing portion. But any mixed-use space would work.
Format
- Time: weeknight, 6-8pm; allow 30 minutes at the beginning and end (6:00-6:30, 7:30-8:00) for socializing and refreshments
