The event drinks reception will take place from 17:30 until 19:30 with a cash bar, but drinks will be offered to Meetup participants by the Digital Festival with a token system. Upon their arrival, we will be provide youwith tokens for participants - you will then be able to distribute these directly to each Meetup participant when they arrive in the room. It will be one token per person, but additional tokens can be purchased until 19:30. The bar itself will remain open and continue serving people who have already purchased their tokens until 20:30.
