2017 First Annual Mid-Atlantic Regional Meetup
First Annual MAR Meetup:
Meetup Date:
19-20 August 2017 (Saturday and Sunday)
Location:
The 2017 meetup will be hosted in the Washington, DC Metro Area
Venue
Our first annual Mid-Atlantic Meetup will be hosted at The Watergate!
Registration
Please register as soon as possible so that we can all plan accordingly. Registration can only be held open until 19 June 2017 due to time constraints with booking flights and hotel rooms. Earlier is better, though. We only have 40 seats available so get yours now.
Registration is closed.
Special Guests:
We've confirmed two staff members, at least one from Waze HQ, will be in attendance. MapSir, the Waze staff member who serves as the Community Manager for the US, is one of our confirmed staff members!
Financial Support:
Waze will pay or reimburse for:
Saturday:
There will be a series of presentations from senior editors and Waze staff. The meeting room is booked from 11:00am until 5:00pm. We might run over some depending on Q&A.
Details:
11:00-12:00 Welcome & Introductions
12:00-13:00 Lunch Buffet
13:00-14:15 Break
14:30-17:00+ Presentations + Q&A
For dinner, editors will be invited to join an optional, pay-your-own-way organized dinner event after we finish up on Saturday but are equally free to make their own plans.
Sunday:
Much less structure to this day, "come if you can, leave when you need to" type day.
Expect a very free-form setting where you can meet other editors you've only talked to online before and have impromptu face-to-face breakout discussions on topics of common interest, etc.
Sunday breakfast buffet will be served from 07:30-08:30.
The meeting room is ours until noon. I hope that most of you can at least stop in on the way out and chat for a bit. Maybe we can even answer those nagging questions that always hit you an hour after the meeting.
Thank you and looking forward to seeing everyone,
Stephen
