Look for the food truck when you arrive!
ideeli is treating us to dinner at a food truck. From 6:50 until 7:15 there will be a Cuban food truck parked near the ideeli offices. Once you've got your dinner, you'll head upstairs to the ideeli offices for drinks and to meet their team. Then, we will walk a few blocks to the Skillshare offices.
We will meet with the developers at both offices. They will tell us about the technology they are building, give us an overview of their development stack and share information on their team structure and culture. We will get an inside view of their offices and enjoy drinks, light snacks and conversations.
