June was an exciting month for us! Our June meetup hit a record number of attendees, and our meetup has over 3,500+ members now. Thanks to everyone who came out and those who continue to support this community every month. Our June meetup talks were comprised of very targeted presentations. We hope everyone left with new tidbits of knowledge as we code onwards.

We wouldn’t be a very good Android meetup if we didn’t invite Mark Murphy of Commonsware to speak. Mark is known for answering tons of questions and helping the Android community on StackOverflow. He’s also an incredible public speaker, cracking jokes and interjecting sarcastic remarks into his presentations. We were lucky to have him at our May meetup, hosted and sponsored by American Express.

It’s small world, but did you know that the NYC tech world is even smaller? I recently met up with an old colleague, Leah Taylor, who told me about an upcoming NYC Apps meetup focused on design. As the go-to shop for Android design & development, I thought it’d be great if touchlab got involved somehow. Lo’ and behold, Kevin happened to know the meetup’s organizer, Serko Artinian, from the good ol’ coworking days.

We’d be pretty bad human beings if we didn’t host a meetup at Meetup, the team bringing people together for just about anything since 2002. Kevin’s been organizing our Android meetup since 2011, and since then it’s grown to over 3,400 members with consistent showings of 80-100+ devs every month! We’re loving our community and are so grateful. For April, our group converged at Meetup’s event lounge, surrounded by vibrant wall art and a giant brain floating above our heads.
