Optimizely Dev Happy Hour North America
In order to support and grow our partner ecosystem, we host a monthly online technical meetup for Optimizely Partners - Optimizely Dev Happy Hour! The goal is to bring together the technical community, talk about Optimizely and anything else going on (non-Optimizely related) in order to share knowledge and get to know one another better. Nothing formal - just a relaxed environment and a place to ask questions, learn and share. This page will be updated monthly with some high level topics that will be covered.
This initiative started out as a temporary weekly series during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to generate a sense of community online. It was a great success and we decided to bring the series back permanently, on a monthly basis. Thank you to everyone that continues to join and we look forward to many great sessions! Don't forget to download Kahoot app on your device!
Below are the details.
When: The last Friday of every month from 3:30 - 5:00 PM Eastern (21.30-23.00 CET)
Next Happy Hour: Friday, September 24, 2021
Note: We are also hosting an Optimizely Developer Happy Hour especially target towards our developers and partners in EMEA and APJ, see the dedicated
