Some members of the CoinDesk team will be holding an On Tap event in Tel Aviv on September 12 and we'd love to see you there. You'll be able to join Leigh Cuen and Daniel Kuhn at Drama Tel Aviv from 8pm to 10:30pm. The goal is to meet some cool people in the ecosystem and possibly line up some interviews with great thinkers and startups.
Please RSVP below. Space is limited to 80 people so act fast. The event is during Blockchain Week so expect to see some notables from around the world and we're looking forward to having a free beer or two with you all by the seaside. There is no agenda outside of networking and meeting the reporters so bring your business cards.
