+##### Vivek on Bitcoin & NFC 
+This month, we're welcoming [Vivek](https://twitter.com/Seardsalmon), who is a class of 2016 Bitcoin tinkerer and VP of Business Development at [Coinkite](https://twitter.com/coinkite). Vivek will be presenting on "Bitcoin & NFC", answering questions like:  
+
+👀 What is RF / NFC?  
+✍️ What are the tradeoffs of its use in signing devices?  
+👉 What are ways you can use it today?  
+📚 Which libraries can Bitcoin devs use to integrate?  
+
+Come prepared with more questions for Vivek to answer!  
+
+### Socratic Seminar
+Inspired by Bitdevs NY, this is an event for those interested in discussing and participating in the research and development of Bitcoin and related protocols. The Socratic Seminar events are formatted to foster debate, information sharing, and lively discussion.
+
+Discussion topics from a variety of sources are collated by meetup members in the weeks preceding the events. We investigate pull requests in the Bitcoin Core, lnd, and other relevant repositories; we study network statistics, research papers, technical blog posts and other interesting content. To complete the meeting, members present open source projects, companies, research and other relevant materials. A feedback and Q&A section follow.
+
+Please contact the organizers if you'd like to present at the Socratic event or have a recommended topic for discussion: contact at bitdevsla.org
+
+A post will be made prior to the event which outlines discussion topics. Archives of discussion topics and presentations can be found in the event descriptions of past meetups. The discussion portion of the event is NEVER recorded. It is recommended that you have a firm grasp of the basics of Bitcoin in order to extract the most value from our Socratic events.
