Our 10 “house rules” coming forward :

1. Friends, family and other animals not allowed. This is not a social gathering.

2. Moon River Diner has a great Happy Hours offer. We don’t. Alcohol is limited, please drink moderately

3. No smoking please. Smoking kills. Smoking and dull presentations kill faster.

4. Silence is golden, except for the speakers. Please give them a chance to talk.

5. Please pre-register online. Seats are limited (literally!!) and so are free drinks coupons (more importantly!!).

6. Don’t register if you know you won’t come or you are only 10% sure. You would end up taking someone else’s seat at the event.

7. If you meet our sponsors from Tekes, FinChi or Widsets/Nokia don’t forget to thank them. We need the money.

8. Carry enough name cards, you never know who you will meet (could launch your acting career)

9. Who knows, you might be our next speaker – come forward and introduce us your project and let’s fit it into one of next topics.

10. Lastly, don’t piss Bruno off. He is a Frenchman! C’est la vie.
