Halihax April Social Event!

Good Robot Brewing Company 2736 Robie Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

About this event It's been a long time since we've been able to connect with the community in person. We had to scrap our social event in September so let's make this a great one! Join us for some lightning talks on the topic of "what was the last thing you broke" hear from our community members as they recount the last thing they broke and how they were able to fix it. Database lost in production? Large scale bug deployed? Blew a budget? Plenty can go wrong! This will be a fun social event and we can't wait to see you all there! This event will be hosted at The Good Robot Brewing Company with snacks and refreshments provided by Halihax, and our sponsors.
