Have you ever wanted to meet Opera in person or hear the latest news on the Web from people leading the industry? Well, if you’re in France, China or the UK in October then we might be coming to a town near you! Opera will host a series of community meet-ups and university seminars, starting in the first half of October.
The university seminars will explore Web standards, mobile browsing, and the history and future of the Web. For the full schedule for each country, check out the university tours page. At most universities there will be light snacks and/or a free gift for those who attend.
In each country we will also host several meet-ups with our users! These are a great opportunity to come and have drink with Opera Software, ask questions in an informal setting, and network with other people interested in or working with the Web. See below for the meet-up schedule for each country or visit Choose Opera.
Tune into the blog to keep updated on all the happenings during the tours. The university tours are part of the larger Opera Education outreach program for universities, schools, and other education institutions. Check it out at www.opera.com/education.
