This month the meetup will be held at Graduation Alliance's headquarters at 310 S Main St, Salt Lake City. You'll need an escort to get you up to the 12th floor. We will try to have someone on escort duty but if you don't see anyone, ping us on slack or call this number 801-448-6632.

Agenda

  • 6:00 PM - Social Hour. Pizza at Graduation Alliance.
  • 7:00 PM - Official start of the meeting & introductions
  • 7:10 - Presentation begins: Drupal Console

Details:
The DUG meeting will be held at the Graduation Alliance office located right in the center of downtown Salt Lake in the JC Penney building. Bring your computer, business cards, and Drupal questions.

Parking can be found next to the building for a nominal fee or there should be some street parking available as well. TRAX is also a great option. The doors to the lobby close at 6:00 so just knock on the door and we'll have someone standing by to let you in to the lobby. Maybe we'll even have someone with a Drupal sign sitting outside the door.
