Let us get together and plot to conquer the world!:) It is irresistible, to enjoy an Investo Convo with half-priced appetizers, glass of wine and rail drinks. Instead of silently doing research on your own, it is well known that when you are regularly connected with people of your own investment interest, you are likely to be more motivated, better informed and less likely to miss out on opportunities. Meet and discuss face-to-face. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Get ready for a night of feel-good hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s as the Young Relics Band brings the soundtrack of your favorite memories to life. From Motown grooves and disco classics to iconic rock anthems and irresistible dance hits, this is your excuse to sing loudly, dance freely, and maybe flirt a little between songs. Whether you come solo or with friends, expect great music, easy conversation, and plenty of opportunities to meet fun new people. Grab a drink, bring your best moves, and see where the night takes you—because the best connections sometimes start on the dance floor. 💃🕺🎹🎤🎸🥁🎺🍺🍻🍹🍸
