🧭 Deep Tech Over the Table
We’ve shaped the evening around topics that help skip the small talk and get straight to the conversations that actually matter. Pilaf has become the go-to culinary format at tech gatherings.
Historically a symbol of hospitality and shared success along the Silk Road - where merchants, scholars, and innovators exchanged not just goods, but ideas and breakthroughs - our chef built it around communal platters with aromatic spices, designed to be shared.
📍 Street parking only.
📍 Rooftop Access Instructions will be received after the approval.
