In the context of developer relations, a Lunch & Learn event is a lunchtime developer education event. It's very similar to an evening meetup, but hosted during the lunch hour. While a meetup can have different formats (hands-on, lecture, panel, etc.), this particular event has a lecture-style format. Developers come to the event, get to eat a delicious lunch, learn something new, ask questions, and network.
So now the question is — why run an event during the lunch hour? I'm going to share why a Lunch & Learn can add value to your developer relations program. I want to mention this is not to run instead of evening events, but in addition to evening events.
