Seattle IA Meetup: October
Join us for some good company and geeky conversation the 2nd Tuesday of every month at the Elysian Pub in Capitol Hill!
Once a month, we’ll get together to have drinks, chat, network, and geek out with fellow information architects, librarians, usability experts, user experience designers, and other like-minded people. It’s open to anyone, so bring a friend — especially those in other local organizations! The format will be casual, but all are encouraged to bring something to discuss — recent work, an interesting topic, or even your resume.
See you there!
