Networking (1hr to ∞)

The whole idea of this 1 hour activity is to get everyone to know everyone. Things we are going to do:

1- Everyone will follow everyone in Twitter and Linkedin (you can add instagram to the list if you want)2- Find what you are looking, for example you can find a programmer, a designer, an investor, a potential partner or a mentor3- Don’t be shy, remember this is the first time for all of us.

That’s it, then you are free to go…….
