Agenda [please read till the end for full details] :  This is going to be one helluva "eventful" meetup.

And its the ideal location to kickstart two local Azure chapters in Bombay: namely Azure IoT and Azure Cloud. For those interested, I would urge you to join the individual meetups group [link given below each talk ] because from hereon both these groups will traverse on their own separate trajectories. This meetup will also be the fifth and the last in the Dockercon 2016 Recap Series ==================================================================================== Time: 12.00 pm  - 1.00 pm  Session: Microsoft Bot Framework and Cognitive Services The Microsoft Bot Framework lets you build and deploy bots across a variety of channels, like Facebook, Skype and Slack.
