February 2018 Whiteboard Session Recap

On February 7th, we had a whiteboard session at Touro College. And as with all our meetups, we begin with the end in mind:

After 2+ hours of whiteboarding, we almost forgot that we were hungry (and thirsty). So much good discussion, we could have gone a lot longer and missed out.

What are our @nycvmug whiteboard sessions all about? Community, collaboration, geeking out, sharing, talking shop, socializing, deep dives, working things out, using your words, and then having a burger and a beer afterwards and talking some more.

If this was an Instagram post (or a tweet), that previous paragraph would basically be written with those same words in hashtag form. People do search on hashtags, right? If you are looking for this kind of quality engagement at your local user group, then you should join us.

Like good improv, you never know who will be in the room and what we will talk about. But you will be in a supportive, collaborative environment. With people who want to help other people. People who want to share what they know. People who have questions and people who are willing to help find answers.

Thank you again to Azarya (@az_ny), his employer Touro College, and his IITS department for sponsoring us again and providing the perfect atmosphere for learning.

Keep following us on this blog and on Twitter (@nycvmug) and look out especially for #VMUGWB to see when our next whiteboard session will be.
