Hello everyone, there has been an update to this meetup. Instead of lightning talks, the evening will just be dedicated to a social with drinks, appetizers, and great conversation around Pivotal Cloud Foundry! 

The Pivotal Cloud Native Roadshow will be in KC on June 13th during the day (http://pivotal.io/event/pivotal-cloud-native-roadshow/), and afterwards the Pivotal crew is sticking around to have a social with the Cloud Foundry Meetup from 4pm to 7pm next door at 801 ChopHouse.  Please join us next door to the Pivotal Cloud Native Roadshow for drinks, appetizers and discussion with the Pivotal experts!  801 ChopHouse is located at 71 E 14th St, in the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City, MO. 

Come join us for a social with the expert practitioners at Pivotal. We will have:
