September Meetup with WordPress Antwerp at Nucleus

One of the core values of our meetup group is that we are open to any other PHP community out there. We welcome talks and speakers of not only framework agnostic PHP, but people working with Magento, Drupal, ... are also welcome.

Our 21st gathering is a joint meetup with the Antwerp WordPress meetup. We'll have a WordPress talk and another talk that's more focused on generic PHP.

We'll feed you a bit: there will be sandwiches for all attendees.

Don't forget to rate the speakers on Joind.in! https://joind.in/event/september-meetup-with-wordpress-antwerp-at-nucleus

We hope to see you soon!

Speaker: Tim Haselaars was the “Head of Technology” since the birth of the Antwerp start-up Parcify (with investments by Bpost). He has a track record mostly as a Technical Product Manager / Scrum master with a passion for music, web technology and micro services.
