Everybody gets up to 2 minutes to present: 1. Who they are and what they are doing 2. What they want 3. How they can help others At 10:30 AM we stop hosting and you can talk to people who are most interesting to you. We are focused on business and social entrepreneurs, the startup community and anyone else who is doing something interesting or wants to get involved in other people's projects. You can talk about any project/topic. Open Coffee Lisbon is an “un-meeting” without a speaker or agenda. We are focused on attendees gaining value from other attendees. The rules, tools, structure and moderation aim to facilitate this goal. ⁣⁣What is the BIG idea behind Open Coffee? We want to help people create useful business connections.⁣ Everyone is welcome to our meetings, and we especially love first-timers.⁣ ⁣We want to make sure that if somebody coming from an unsupportive background/country has the courage to join, they will notice that we are glad they came because we welcome them. If you feel shy, you can also just listen but we encourage you to talk. Each attendee can also get to show their LinkedIn page or website through our channels and showcase their idea.⁣ This event is based on the Open Coffee Krakow format, run by Richard Lucas and others in Krakow Poland since 2012.
