For all those who didn't get a ticket for the Global Conference, we will be streaming one of the best fireside chats we've cherrypicked for you.

We will meet for a different evening, where we will watch a live stream of the Startup Grind Global Conference (www.startupgrind.com/conference) being held in Redwood City, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Afterwards, we will conduct the regular Open Mic and have a few cold ones with our usual session of networking.
