No. Due to security and venue constraints all attendees must have an approved RSVP (not pending). The status indicator will come in an email and be reflected on your Luma RSVP for this event. ​What should I wear? Casual attire is appropriate. ​Can I arrive late? Yes, but arriving before the 6:30pm panel will give you time to check in, grab food, and meet other attendees. ​Why is this a thing? ​A note from Steve, Executive Director & Founder of Code & Coffee: ​Most tech meetups don't survive. I've spent a decade in the DMV tech scene and I've watched group after group quietly fade out. ​In 2021, Code & Coffee restarted as the simplest possible idea: get coders together over coffee. Five years later it runs monthly in over 30 cities, entirely volunteer-led and sustainably. ​What kept it alive wasn't an audience. It was the connections between the people who kept showing up and groups working together, not alone. Which is why we're getting together at Capital One to do something spectacular. ​Come join and help build something that lasts. ------ REGISTER FOR THE EVENT HERE (ON LUMA)! ------ (https://luma.com/j5l99xl6)
