Upcoming Events

Join other technical communicators for coffee and coworking at the La Colombe coffee bar at Coop de Ville. Come to chat with other technical communicators or just get some work done in the presence of other humans. We'll have sticky notes available to hang on your laptop if you want to focus undisturbed.

Coffee is self-purchase. This is a casual gathering, so come and go as you please. As always, the Write the Docs [code of conduct](https://www.writethedocs.org/code-of-conduct/) applies.
