Devclub #028 at TransfeWise

We had very interesting night at TransferWise on Thursday. The talks and discussions took place in the Hall Moelava (which means Fashon Stage :). Only thing what was missing the catwalk, otherwise it was perfect. Thank you TransferWise team for hosting the event. The night ended at TransferWise office with wine and snacks + tour by Alvar Lumberg.

We had the biggest number on registered people and also attendees so far. And lot of very positive feedback from people. This event was remarkable also because it was live streamed over the world – we had audience in Europe and US.
