Asia Monthly Meetups

From TCU Wiki

The monthly meetups are text-based gathering with featured guests that bring together folks from the Asia region to share, connect, seek help, and release stress by celebrating each other. In addition, it's a time for us to find ways to support each other, and help us understand what is happening in our part of the world. If you cannot attend the monthly meetups, we are taking notes of each gathering and linking to them below.

The Asian community is connected during the week in different ways. Either through various Asia-focused channels on the IFF Mattermost or via different events organized on various topics during the year.
