Disclaimer
First and foremost, the goal of our meetup is to generate pertinent discussion about the latest trends in web/mobile technology and how those trends affect our career and personal investment decisions. The goal of each meeting is to further the group's critical analysis and understanding of the way new technology affects business by creating new opportunities, while destroying others. Personal evangelism and self-marketing are frowned upon, as there is plenty of time to speak to specific members of the group outside of the meetup.
