Connections don’t just happen in the sessions—they happen in the moments in between. Community Meetups will take place throughout the event (check the “Community Meetups” tab on Swapcard for details), but don’t miss Meetup Night on Wednesday from 6-8 PM at Reggie's Chicago – just a short distance from the event hotel.
