First CodeRetreat

The first CodeRetreat, sponsored by Pillar Technology, will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan, all day Saturday, January 24th.

It will be at the Spark center downtown:

Ann Arbor Spark, at 330 E Liberty St, Ann Arbor, MI‎

Good parking spots can be found here (thanks, Nayan).


We'll start with light breakfast around 8:30, and hope to be coding by 9:30.

Lunch will be provided (please email us your preferences). At 5:30 or so a bunch of us will likely retire to downtown Ann Arbor for food and micro-brews.
