Local meetups cover a wide range of specialised interests in the local tech industry. Some meet monthly, some are quarterly, some are a little more relaxed (but still worth joining). Meeting with others is a great way to pick up new skills, find help with tricky problems, and meet interesting people. Networking is a great way to find a job, because many are not listed publicly.

All the local meetups we know about are listed below, with their next event and contact details. Most are run by volunteers, so if you have a bit of spare time please step up and offer to help.

In a senior IT role with significant responsibility? Meet for breakfast 7:30am on the second Thursday of the month to share ideas / resources with your peers, discuss challenges, form a network of people you can call on for a bit of advice. This is also an IT Professionals meetup: a number of regulars are ITP members. Attendance is free (but pay for your own breakfast). Anyone can come: you do not have to be an ITP member.(This group was called "Senior IT Managers", but its really for anyone who has been around the block a few dozen times, got some deep experience to share, responsible for a few people or a few projects or a decent budget)

Brew Union Brewing Co, 41 Broadway Avenue, Palmerston North

By popular request. Lightning talks are a series of 5 minute presentations from people who come regularly. The theme this time is "keystone cops projects": tell us about projects you have seen that were bizarre, weird, so badly busted they were funny etc. You can pick on your most unfavourite language, describe uncomfortable team dynamics, process or organisational oddness etc. We will probably go around the room and give anyone who wants a chance to say something. So bring your most (un)favourite story. Note change of venue: will try and book a courtyard table at Brew Union. This will be a less formal kick off for the new year. There is no data projector available (unless someone can bring a battery powered pico projector we can beam onto the white brick wall?)

Hope Kitchen Cafe, 156 The Square, Palmerston North

Robyn Young (of Robyn Young HR) will join us for breakfast to answer your questions on developing and retaining staff. This is in context of the previous two meetups: finding and funding interns; care and feeding of interns; then hopefully keeping and developing your interns into the kind of people that are really hard to at the moment. Hope Cafe asked if you could pre-order your breakfast https://www.hopevineyard.nz/cafe/ so they can prepare ahead

In this session we'll talk about how can you implement powerful personalization for your customers without having to learn machine learning. In the second half of the session we'll look into customizing the technology to make it applicable for your specific use cases followed by a QnA session where we'll have an AMA for attendees. Purnesh Tripathi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/purneshtripathi) is a Data Scientist at AWS, coming to Palmy specially for us. If you'd like to meet with him before, please contact him via LinkedIn. He is also keen for beer after, so you can ask him all the questions there weren't time for during the meetup.
