Get involved

The Chicago Tech Community has meant a lot to me over the years, and I'm excited to bring everyone in the Snowflake Community together. I can't wait to welcome you, meet the new faces, and help kick off this next chapter with you. This community is built by its members. If you'd like to present at a future meeting, share a project, or help run the group, I'd love to hear from you. Come say hello at the event or reach out anytime.

A quick note on who's behind this: I'm Nick Petrovits, a fellow Snowflake practitioner here in Chicago. I'm leading this group as a community member, working with Snowflake and our generous event sponsors.

See you on August 6th,

Nick
