Hangouts is a community based peer-to-peer learning platform.  Presenters are working professionals, industry experts, academicians, fellow learner or someone who love to share their experience. At Hangouts, we don’t aim for perfection, we aim for learning experience filled with fun and quench the curiosity. 

If you love telling a story and interacting with people, this program is for you to present. 

We are not a education institute and we do not run a course. These are interesting and intriguing presentations and interactions to keep up with the latest technological trends and get insights into the capabilities of applications and devices.
