Hi everyone



I'm excited to announce our first Ethereum meetup in Dubai. The event will be taking place next Wednesday, April 5th 6:30 pm at the DFA Auditorium in the Emirates Towers. The meetup is free and everyone is welcome to attend. See the schedule at the end.



The meetup will be guided by Ethereum production studio ConsenSys (http://www.consensys.net) and hosted by Bashar Lazaar. We have international high-quality presenters lined up and it promises to be a great night for everyone to find out more about Ethereum and the community, connect and network.
