Food, beverages and col prizes will be available for all attendees.

Super special thanks to Alex Hillman of Independents Hall for hooking us up with the meeting space at the last minute! Shout-outs to Alex's partners at Indy Hall: Bart Mroz and Geoff DiMasi for their support and general coolness all around. ;)
