Let's talk about what I love to see at tech events: macarons. This is better than dulling your senses with alcohol just to manage social anxiety.
I’m Crissy, and I choose teetotalism in professional settings.
Why? Alcohol pushes us into performance, not authentic presence. To build systems based on integrity, we need people operating with full coherence.
That's why my events are simple: coffee chats, tech walks, paper discussions, and coworking.
We prioritize people over platforms. Our spaces are inclusive and accessible: family and pets are welcome. We create stable connection—not just loud networking.
You don’t need to dull your senses to connect. You just need a well-architected space.
