This mingle will be Friday the 13th, so come if you dare!

Mads and I will start the afternoon off sharing some learnings from our own attempts at making a living in meaningful and fun ways:

If you stick around you will also have the opportunity to enjoy DJ Carl's smooth styling of the dance floor.

Participation is free as always - just remember to register at Eventbrite so we will know how many minglers to expect.

TALKS start 3:20 pm
DJ starts around 5 pm
