MTL_code

​MTL_code is a laid-back evening where you can expect pizza, drinks, and a talk or two from guest speakers on software development, programming, and the latest in technology. Whether you’re a seasoned dev, curious about building great software products, or want to network with other VC-backed startups in Montreal, it’s a great opportunity to share ideas, ask questions and meet people who geek out on the same stuff you do.
