Summer Field Trip
Topic: Secret for Now
Presenter: Joshua Blake
Our usual location at Excella HQ isn't available this month. So we've lined up space at the Microsoft Office in Chevy Chase on Wisconsin Ave. (Metro stop: Friendship Heights)
The topic is secret for now, so you know whatever we're going to talk about s going to be *new* and *very cool*. Josh is a renowned NUI (Natural User Interface) expert and even wrote a book on the topic.
We just wanted to let everyone know well ahead of time that we're not meeting in our usual place.
We'd say more about the meeting topic, but that would get us into big trouble. :)
Stay tuned for updates.
