Welcome to May 2021 - AFQY - an event for Technology-End-Users to share experiences peer to peer in a relaxed environment created by the "Meet the person" approach.

We close officially, and the bar goes back to a cah bar, you;'re welcome to stay, most do for a few more hours
Rules:
- "No Selling" (You can talk concepts, but not pricing and product names)
- "No giving your card out" (You can ask fpr a card after a yarn)
- "You can't ask what someone does til the 3rd question" (Find out about the person first)
We employ the principles of gamification - break the rule, earn the consequence of being walked out with a "Red card" which incurs a 3 event ban.
