It’s almost time for Bitcoin Socratic Seminar #28!

What is a Socratic Seminar?

Inspired by other BitDevs meetups around the US, our Socratic Seminar events are formatted to foster debate, information sharing and lively discussion.

1. Discussion topics are provided ahead of the event
2. The event moderator(s) leads the audience through the topics
3. Raise your hand to grab the mic and participate in the conversation
4. We go to a bar afterwards

Logistics for Tonight

Tonight we'll be meeting at ATL BitLab. Join our telegram channel in case you need to ask for help finding us the night of the event.

Address

684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE, Suite A1 Atlanta, GA 30312

Parking

Park anywhere in the gravel lot that has a "tenants only" sign (ATL BitLab is the tenant and you are their guests). You can also park right in front of ATL BitLab's fence. Avoid the areas marked for valet use.

Look for the orange door behind the fence.
