💬 Vibe
Intimate event (16 people max) at a restaurant, designated seats with your name on it. Host will do a round of group introductions, and then you will chat the night away.
Curated guestlist where you will meet everyone.
🍔🍸 Food & Beverage
First round of drinks and appetizers on me!
Besides that, everyone will keep their own tab for their dinner.
⏰ Timing
I will run this on time and serve food accordingly. I do a seat rotation halfway so you can meet and chat with everyone within the 2 hours.
🚪 Preparation
No need to anything or bring anything. I recommend looking everyone up on LinkedIn and preparing a few questions about what you want to learn.
