Friday 21st February 2020
Conference wrap-up – Optional
An informal round-table / workshop / un-conference where we get together (mostly speakers but attendees are welcome too) and summarise what we learned over the previous three days.
Will be at the same venue as the conference but in a cosier room – The Loft
Runs from 9:00 am till noon and then we go for lunch together. Many of us keep going in the afternoon till 5:00 pm. Then we’ll tour some other breweries in Wellington 🙂
No specific agenda, you’re welcome to arrive anytime. Many speakers join us on their way to the airport.
