This meetup group is for web designers (from novice to professional) who want to network with others who have a passion for design in the digital realm. Each month we get together in a casual atmosphere to talk about our web projects, share tricks and tips, and ask questions and solve problems by tapping into our collective creative/technical skill sets.
The group meets at the Town of Esopus Library, located in Port Ewen, NY from 7-9pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month. This handicapped accessible facility provides wireless internet access, projector and screen for presentations. Mac and PC users, and all levels of ability are welcome!
Pack up your laptop or just bring your enthusiasm and join us at the next meeting!
We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.
