"People come to these events from all over, and so they'll be able to also see that we have a tech community, that we have awesome people here, and be able to see all the really cool natural features that the upstate region has..." Kelly and Karin sit down with Mike DeMaria, founder of the Syracuse Developers Community Group/co-founder of Upstate Dreamin', and discuss working with Salesforce, what it's like to run a community Meetup, and launching a brand new conference in upstate New York. We also chat about retro video game systems and offer suggestions for presenting to local dev groups.
