We suggest arriving early so that you have about 20-30 minutes to get settled, order a drink and some food, and meet the people around you. After a brief welcome, the speaker dives into a fascinating topic for 45 minutes, brought to life with visuals and genuine enthusiasm. We close with Q&A, and most people stick around afterward to keep the conversation going over another round.
