There will be time for some Q&A and networking. This is a FREE event thanks to our friends at Volta.
The meetup will take place in Volta's mezzanine floor classroom. The classroom is a bit tricky to access at the moment due to ongoing building renovations, so here are some tips to get there safely (some photos are on the event album as well):
- Enter the building through the doors at the corner of Salter and Barrington Streets.
- Once inside, proceed down the hallway until you see a set of elevators on the far end.
- In the elevators, choose L for Lobby. Sign in with security at the lobby.
- Transfer to a second set of elevators just down the hall at the lobby. Choose M for Mezzanine.
- On the mezzanine floor, proceed down the hall until you see the classroom.
We look forward to seeing everyone! 👏
