Why Edge Computing? Come to Happy Hour and Find Out!

Optimizely's technical community has ramped up the events this year! You may have noticed advertisements for all of the amazing Local Developer Meet-ups in major cities all over the globe, including London, Chicago, Utrecht, Copenhagen, and many others! One of our monthly events for the tech community is our NA Happy Hour! This virtual event is held the last Friday of every month from 3:30pm EST to 5:00pm EST. Why do we call it a Happy Hour? Well, we believe there's no better way to learn about the latest and greatest in SaaS and software development than to have a nice cold drink with friends at the end of the week! So grab a beer and meet us this Friday April 29, 2022 for the Happiest of Hours here in North America. All are invited!

This month's speakers include 2 of Optimizely's finest developers: Mark Hall, the Director of Innovation and Transformation, and John Nguyen who is a Senior Software Engineer! Come and advance your skills as a developer and a technical professional. You don't want to miss Mark's presentation on creating a visitor group UI Component and Extending Customer Service UI with custom components. John will be presenting on Edge Computing. If you want to advance your skills and move into the future of software development, don't miss this Happy Hour! 

Take a moment to RSVP for the event here. Stay connected by visiting our Developer Community page here and our events page here for information about our virtual and in-person events. Connect with us as we unlock digital potential and technical advancement. See you there, and don't forget to BYOB!
