#### About Our Co-Working Sessions
When we don't run our signature conferences, we have in-person meetups all year round. Usually, these are just monthly meetups: once a month we showcase the coolest demos or have round-table discussions about a subject we care about in the software industry.

However, certain cities also do offer co-working sessions on the side; these are a lot more informal and happen more regularly than official monthly meetups.

#### What to Expect from these Sessions
#### What to Expect
We're a mixed bag of programmers at the co-work sessions. Some do remote work for their normal 9-5 job (they even have Slack open!) while others are indie devs working on a serious product. Finally, there are those who take time off their work for a side project.

At each session we introduce ourselves and briefly explain what we’re working on for the day. Then we get right to it!

Sometimes we pause to point at our progress or ask for technical feedback. And sometimes, a couple folks or so team up for a new project or business idea. The overarching goal, however, is simply to feel connected in meatspace.

Note you are not expected to work exclusively on systems programming. It's reasonable to do art, marketing, business accounting and so on when needed.

#### How do I know if my city offers it?
First and foremost, please browse the cities on the [Meetups](/meetups) page and subscribe to your favorite one. If your city is not listed, please wishlist one from the dropdown GUI box: the more demand there is for a city, the more likely we can spin up an official group.

Then you should email the meetup host and ask whether they offer co-working sessions (email address is on their city's meetup page.)

#### Notice to Washington Residents
At the time of writing we only offer a [Seattle](/meetups/seattle) mailing list, which is ALSO used for announcing events in other cities such as our Kirkland co-working sessions. You should subscribe to Seattle for official invites to these so-called "Seattle area" events.
