Marilyn takes us to the inaugural Siligong Marketing Meetup and introduces us to more of the Siligong Community. This meetup marks the fourth recurring monthly meetup - joining Siligong JS, Siligong IxDA and InfraCoders.

Join us to celebrate the end of 2018 at the Siligong Valley End of Year party. In this episode, we have gone portable and managed to convince some Siligong natives to answer probing questions about who they are, what they do and why they are a part of Siligong Valley. Thanks all for the podcast support and I look forward to interviewing more of you in 2019!
