React JS Melbourne - May Meetup

The React meetup was on again at Kogan HQ last Tuesday!

Four presenters covered three exciting topics; including the use of React in non-profit organisations, understanding the new Context API and scaling a React team and their tools from 2 to 20 devs.

Due to the large waitlist for this quarter's event, we trialled a live feed via Google hangouts which went quite well!

The event attracted 200 RSVP’s who consumed many burritos throughout the evening.
