Hispanic digital, mobile and online media habits are evolving quickly and it’s imperative that marketers understand and keep up with these rapidly changing behaviors.

Every week there’s a new topic, ranging from culture to community to code. A great time to experience Gangplank for the first time. Just show up, and bring a lunch or join people for lunch after the presentation.

Gangplank offers a weekly hacknight that acts as an ability to connect, share ideas and launch new ventures in the community.
