NYC ? (or more generally East Coast)
Hi Devs and Users,
We are looking for speakers for future Meetups and Events. Who is
building cool things with Beam? We are looking at hosting a Meetup at
Spotify in February, and ideally keep some meetups going throughout
the year. For this to occur, we need to hear about what people are
working on! Even if only a small/lightning talk, etc, do reach out!
Let's figure something out.
Cheers,
Austin
P.S. https://www.meetup.com/New-York-Apache-Beam/
P.S.S. We also have budding communities in DC and Boston, will
eventually write in separate threads on those.

If it would be helpful, I could contact a few groups and see if they'd be interested in someone giving a Beam talk.

I'd be more than happy to contribute in any way to a DC meetup (would be
awesome if that existed!), including a talk on how we've been using Beam at
my org if that would be useful. I'm less confident about making an NYC
meetup but would love to stay in the loop anyway.

I can do talks in either DC or NYC meetups. I can coordinate with
CapitalOne to see if they would be willing to host the DC meetup.
