Attendees keep giving me great ratings, so General Assembly keeps inviting me back. If you like entrepreneurship and you don’t know General Assembly, you should. They teach great courses and have built a great community around teaching relevant skills.

Here is the announcement (they use short descriptions, for a fuller description, see this announcement from an earlier event):
