This will be open on the 23rd at 7pm EDT: https://sched.co/ckXj <https://sched.co/ckXj>
This will be open prior to the opening talks: https://sched.co/cPId <https://sched.co/cPId>

Both will require a password that will only be given out to eventbrite attendees. I'll see you guys there!

As Jim suggested, this conference is supposed to be community lead. If you guys want to do an event outside of that, I encourage you to use the wiki or the slack invite you were given to collaborate with other attendees. https://github.com/perlconference/tpc-2020-cloud/wiki <https://github.com/perlconference/tpc-2020-cloud/wiki>

Cheers,
