#onlineAFQYevent - Mar 26th 2020

Event description

Description

Due to COVID-19 we cancelled the normal in-person event, now we are going online for the first time in 12+ years... so the format changes

Overview:

AFQY will be an online event using ZOOM Large Event option with 500 seats maximum and we will have both one-on-one networking with 'Breakout rooms' as well as 8 amazing Speakers sharing a brief high impact perspective on #COVID19 from a business and tech perspective.

Sponsors:

Bryan Thompson from Figure 8
Joanna Graham from Vonzeal
Ben Stevens from Flip View
We are looking for sponsors for the next #onlineAFQYevent in April

Event Format:

This event presents the opportunity for all good people to form a social or personal relationship where you can understand the 'cut of a person's jib'. No one wants to be hawked widgets, they want to have intelligent and fun discussions with good people - so come to have a yarn, there is always plenty to talk about!

4.30pm - ZOOM access code will be emailed to all attendees
5.30pm: ZOOM event will be open to enter and every 5 minutes we will put everyone into random breakout rooms so you can meet and chat with someone new every few minutes just like an inperson event, leading up to the speaker at 6pm
