A series of curated meetups, company visits, and investor dinners organized on the sidelines of the main Lviv IT Arena conference. Smaller and more intimate than the main event, these side events are where much of the actual deal-making and hiring-relationship building happens.
Most are free with RSVP; some invite-only.
