✨️Ladies of Tbilisi, this one's for you. Our last singles night was a hit, but we listened to your feedback. This time, we're flipping the script to ensure the vibe is right, the conversations are genuine, and the gentlemen are... well, actual gentlemen. Introducing a little standard: To maintain the quality you deserve, there will be a 25 GEL cover charge for gentlemen only at the door. Consider it our "Gentleman's Entry Fee," curated by your host (and Tbilisi's only female-owned expat bar owner) to ensure the room is filled with men who are serious about making a real connection, not just hanging around. Think of it as our way of pre-screening your dating pool. The Vetted Experience: Why you'll love it: • Your Night, Your Rules: Upon arrival, you'll get a number to make mingling easy and fun. Discreet & Fun: See someone you like? Drop a note in our message box. No pressure, just possibility ☀️ ✨️The Magic Happens: We'll reveal mutual matches throughout the night. If you both agree, we will make the introduction! (Or, if you're comfortable, feel free to just mingle directly!) ♥️ A Curated Crowd: We're carefully balancing the numbers. The cover charge means the men there are invested in having a great night with great people. A Safe & Social Space: As Tbilisi's only female-owned expat bar, creating a welcoming and respectful environment is our top priority. This is a night for connection, not just collection. Fun Prizes: For the couples who hit it off, there are still some surprises in store! So ladies, grab your friends. Gentlemen, bring your best selves (and your 25 GEL).

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
