I thought a meetup group would be a great way for IITians in the Seattle area to meet each other and network (mostly) socially and (also) professionally. I plan to propose meetups around hiking & camping, board games, shows & plays, movies, eating out and good old bulla sessions. I invite group members to organize meetups, too. So if you or your significant other identifies him/herself as from an IIT, join the group and forward this to your IIT friends. Looking forward to meeting you all!
