Pre-Awards Ceremony + Happy Hour THUR 18 JUN 03.30 - 04.30 PM UTC
Hi Hackers,
We know you are all anxiously waiting for the results of the hackathon, so we decided that, in order to calm your nerves, it would be a great idea to do a Networking event where you guys can chat to other participants and mentors.
To make the evening more interesting we've also invited a wine specialist to talk a bit about Georgian wine and wine tourism. This should get the evening started! - Daria Kholodilina
