No agenda. No speakers. No cover charge. Ever. Just networking with IT professionals. Plain and simple.
IT in The D was started by IT professionals for IT professionals. We didn’t like any other group out there, so we started our own! At our events, you might meet tech recruiters, developers, salespeople, network admins, web designers, or senior-level management.
Come on out, bring some business cards (or don’t—it’s OK) and meet some like-minded people in the Metro Detroit area. You could meet a life-long friend, a new business partner, or no one at all… it’s what you make of them that makes these events great.
*We are networking Detroit one beer at a time.*

Workshop: Data Pipelines for fun & profit AND SDLC for cross-functional teams
2025-02-27 17:30 - 19:00 | The Madison, 1555 Broadway St, Detroit, MI, 48226, us
RIVET Work is hosting a workshop event with two topics (depth of topic discussion depends on audience interest):

Data pipelines: Discussion will start with a brief presentation by Phil Borel, Engineering Manager for the Data Pipeline team @ RIVET, covering how data pipelines work, a brief history of data pipeline development at RIVET & what the future holds for data pipelines in SaaS. Come prepared to discuss your data pipeline experience & any learnings you’ve had developing data pipelines.
SDLC for cross-functional teams: Discussion will start with a brief presentation about the SDLC for cross-functional teams. We will then discuss our experiences developing software as Developers, PMs, TPMs & Designers. How to best work with cross-functional peers? Trade-offs of engineers being involved in product convergence vs only technical convergence. There are no “right/one-size-fits-all” answers, but there are plenty of things to learn from each others’ experiences!
