#RefreshCA – Tuesday, April 27th

refreshlogo[1]Tomorrow night at the Central Arkansas Refresh monthly meetup Cotton Rohrscheib and Robert Blake will be speaking on a topic that everyone of us in the industry can relate to, How to Deal with Clients. The meeting is open to the public and starts at 6pm at The Flying Saucer in downtown Little Rock.  You can RSVP on Facebook if you want or just show up unannounced, entirely up to you.  Bring a friend a co-worker with you, it should be a good time.

If you aren’t familiar with the #RefreshCA group, we are a group of developers, designers, bloggers, and IT professionals that meet once a month to discuss topics and emerging technologies related to our industry.  You can learn more on our website, http://refreshcentralarkansas.org and by joining our Facebook Group.  There will also be some assorted swag given away as well as pony rides for the kids. (just kidding about the pony rides…)
