Confirm your spot. 1. If a date you want is available, book it immediately. Don't wait. The most frequent message received is: "Hi, I saw the date I wanted earlier, but now its gone!" Because it was booked full by others. 2. The day includes visiting startup locations around the city, so wear comfortable clothing and shoes, with minimum bags if possible. And give yourself extra travel time on the day to avoid being late or left behind. As communication with late guests by phone or messenger is limited once we leave the meeting spot at 11:30am. 3.
