s4 irl — sf + dubai
hi.
it's time — here are all the details for irl in sf and dubai.
if you've submitted 3/6 of the weekly updates -- then you're invited.
we have 3 more updates until the end of s4 -- plus, w1, w2, w3 updates are still live.
hint: better to submit late than never ;).
if you plan to come, we recommend buying flights + lodging asap to get the best price.
this will be first come first serve and you must register for the event.
last season, we had 200+ ppl attend sf & 100+ ppl attend dubai. it was insane. we made a lil video. take a look:
general info
both events are basically the same in terms of what we actually do there. i highly recommend going to one.
it'll be a healthy amount of hanging out with cool people, and actually getting shit done. these events are always my favorite part of n&w. why? well. cause we all get to meet each other + push our ideas forward.
it's not everyday you can gather a bunch of driven people under the same roof.
you may be wondering -- should i go to sf or dubai?
basically it comes down to hotel prices and your visa situation.
sf lodging is a bit more expensive. you'll likely spend like $300 just on lodging. there are cheaper options, but you gotta share a room. dubai is generally way cheaper (you can get a solid hotel for $50 a night) and way easier to get a visa.
but, depends on where you're from + your budget!!
if you're not sure -- i recommend watching the videos for both events below, doing the numbers yourself, and seeing how much it'd be for you. all we can give you are estimates.
