This month, the generous folks over at Achievers (ex-I Love Rewards) are opening up their office to us. They've a fantastic story to tell and if you're lucky, they might just do so.

Here's what the evening should look like:

Walk in, get name tags, answer these questions three:

• role: "Dev" / "Des" / "Biz" / "?" (other)
• pitching: "P"
• need team: "T"
  Bit convoluted, but logical. You see a girl with a nametag that says: "Dev P T" ...and you know she's a coder pitching an idea and (possibly) wants (to join) a team. Grab beer, get chatty. Quick intro, announcements, badass sponsor talks, Q&A. Back-to-back-no-applause egalitarian 60-sec pitches: name, project, role(s) you need filled.
  FAIR WARNING: Be considerate; pay attention. Talking during pitches is ultra disrespectful and will get you ejected.
  Struggle to find each other amidst the chaos, and in doing so, find yourselves. <3
