Holiday Social
Holidays are busy, so let's relax and have some fun! The CWSA will be taking a break from presentation-style events until the new year. This will be a purely social geek get together over dinner and drinks. Attendees are welcome to bring a date/spouse/friend along. Holiday cheer is provided, but food and drinks are not.

Hooked on Aesthetics
Visual design – it's more than just making things look pretty. Learn how emotions and feelings through visuals can enhance or hinder the experience. Join the CWSA as we welcome web designer Craig Minch of Minch Design as he helps us understand how the right visual design can make or break your project.
