Kotlin Night is a meetup that includes 3-4 talks on Kotlin or related technologies. At JetBrains we've organised a few events: Kotlin Night San Francisco and Kotlin Night London.
The community however is asking for more Kotlin Nights and are willing to organise these themselves. Here you would find guidelines and some hints on putting things together.
You can , submit your Kotlin Night to get support and inform about your upcoming event.
