FRIDAY EVENING MIXER
The pre-weekend social event will be held Friday, May 21, 7-9pm at Axis Cafe, located at 1201 8th St. in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. This will be mostly a social event where you can mix with other attendees to find potential teammates. We still plan other team-matching activities Saturday morning at the event itself. So, if you aren’t sure which team or project you want to work on, there will be plenty of time to figure that out.
