For our May meeting, Google will be hosting us in their Detroit Office for a presentation on Firebase.

Firebase is Google's mobile platform that helps you quickly develop high-quality apps. Using Firebase, you have access to every service that a modern mobile and web app would need. Firebase gives you functionality like analytics, databases, messaging and crash reporting so you can move quickly and focus on your users.

During this discussion on Firebase, Sumit Chandel, a Senior Developer Advocate on Firebase will discuss all Firebase has to offer.

Sumit Chandel works as a senior developer advocate on Firebase, focusing on developer outreach both digitally and in-person by presenting at conferences and meetups globally. Previously, Sumit managed the AdWords API advocacy team, worked on Android Wear and Instant Apps, and was a developer programs engineer on the Google Web Toolkit. Prior to joining Google, Sumit was a software engineer at Motorola, Optimal Payments and Westfield Insurance Group.

Parking and Logistics

We can validate parking for those that use the Henry Street Garage, refer to the address below,

The Henry Street Garage

Once you have parked you will need to enter the arena using the Google entrance which is located on the south side of the building (head north-east from the garage), you will see a large Google sign above the entrance.

LCA security will ask you to pass through a metal detector. Once you are cleared, you will be greeted by a Google employee who will help you find your name tag and then direct you to the 4th floor where the event will be held.
