Fee: it's free to attend, yet we would buy a drink as a courtesy to the venue.
Meeting Format:
First we meet and introduce ourselves. After sharing our initial thoughts on the topic, we begin a free-flowing discussion and then split into sub-groups of 3-5 people for more detailed discussions. Questions, new paths for discussions, personal experience, and opinions are highly encouraged. We conclude the event with everyone sharing their takeaways on the subject.
