2. Main talk:
   At WeWork, we use technology to bridge the gap between physical and digital platforms, providing a delightful experience for nearly half a million members to connect with each other and with the space around them like never before. From our app that uses machine learning to connect members based on their skills and interests to our home-built billing and payments system that underpins our business, technology is fundamental to everything WeWork does. Please join us for this Meetup, where WeWork CTO Shiva Rajaraman will showcase some of the complex problems WeWork’s technology team is solving for.

3. Speaker:
   Shiva Rajaraman, helms technology for The We Company, where he oversees the development and deployment of digital products that empower nearly half a million members. Prior to this, Shiva held technology leadership roles at Spotify, where he ushered in an era of personalization, and YouTube, where he oversaw creator, viewer, and distribution areas. He's most excited by helping everyone reach their full potential irrespective of their starting point, which is one of the reasons he joined The We Company.

4. Parking info:
   If you are planning on coming with a car, there is a parking lot in the building (with a fee).
   Due to the Light Rail constructions that are taking place at Menachem Begin street the parking lot entrance from this street is blocked. You will need to enter the parking lot from a different entrance (from Yigal Alon/Nahalat Yitzhak streets)- turn to Yehuda and Noah Mozes street, then take a right turn and continue with the curve left into Midtown parking lot (Mozes entrance).
   Take the elevators to floor 0. To your right, there will be another set of elevators you can take to the 50th floor.
