Host our Manila.js meetup!

Manila.js, the Philippine JavaScript developers meetup group, is always looking for venues to hold our events. Here’s some basic information on our meetups.

Schedule

Our next meetup is on August 7, 2015. The event is typically scheduled on the first Friday of the month.

Attendees

The meetup attracts design and web development professionals coming in after their work. These are people who spend their career building web and mobile applications, both as contractual freelancers and full-time employees. There are also students, educators, and non-tech professionals.

We cap registrations depending on the capacity of the venue to prevent going over-capacity. Here’s our past head counts:

Time slot

Our programme takes 2 hours. The usual time slot is 7pm to 9pm.

Programme

There will be 3 talks, each taking 20 minutes. There will be two 20 minute breaks in between for socializing and snacks.

What we need

Seats:

Seats for the attendees are highly preferred, but they often don’t mind standing up if needed.

Tech requirements:

Video projector and microphone equipment are preferred, but not required.

Registration booth area:

We’ll have volunteers man the registration booths in the front desk. This is to count their attendance and provide the attendees with name tags.

What about food?

Manila.js is an effort by the community, for the community. Our food is typically sponsored by some generous attendees and local startups. As food sponsors, they get rights to being promoted in Manila.js announcements.

After-drinkup

Some attendees would like to socialize after the event, so we often designate a nearby bar so they can hang out afterwards. This is often a KKB affair, though some generous patrons offer to sponsor drinks for people as well.

Our website is manilajs.com—feel free to take a look around.

We’re really excited to have your office host our meetup. Please drop me a note at hi@ricostacruz.com.
