We will be participating in two meetups while we are there, please join us for a project briefing, demo, and discussion. - On the 15th of April, we’ll be at the [Downtown NYC Tech Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Downtown-NYC-Tech-Meetup/events/221553667/) and discussing how Project Calico networking works for bare metal, VM’s and containers. A docker demo (demo gods willing) and lots of Q&A (we hope) will round out the time. The location hasn’t been determined yet, but it will be in Manhattan, stay tuned to the event’s meetup page. Our thanks to our friends at [Packet](http://www.packet.net/) for arranging this. - Also, on the 15th of April, we’ll be speaking at the [Docker NYC meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Docker-NewYorkCity/events/221586351/) talking about Calico’s Docker integration, our use of etcd, and finishing up with a demo. - On the 16th of April we’ll be dropping in on the [DevOps and Automation NJ](http://www.meetup.com/DevOpsandAutomationNJ/events/221669714/) group, again talking about Project Calico networking, and how it will simplify a scale-out infrastructure. Again, if the demo gods will it, we will do a docker or OpenStack demo. The announcement isn’t out yet, so stay tuned to their page for details. We really appreciate [Tanya Kravtsov](http://www.meetup.com/members/154136532/)‘s assistance in setting this one up. If you can’t make it, but still want to meetup and chat, we’re around for those two weeks, just drop us a line, and we’ll grab a coffee or some such. Hope to meet a lot of you over the next two weeks.
