Overview and agenda

To start, a few things to keep in mind:

Relax: First and foremost, this gathering is a time to come together, relax, and celebrate the success we've had as a company. We have an exciting agenda planned for the week, which also includes slow mornings and ample time for breaks / personal time

Improvise: We are not bound by this agenda, if we choose as a team we'd rather do something different, we can adapt and improvise.

Breakfasts: All mornings are slow, and breakfast times are open. There is no expectation to meet for breakfast. Those that wish to meet up can coordinate on the WhatsApp group.

Rain: it may show up, that's ok, we come prepared with other plans 🦾 We'll adjust as needed.
