Heads up! Weāve hosted over 100 Roundabouts events, and one thing weāve consistently seen is a high drop-out rate ā itās totally normal. Because of that, we slightly oversubscribe to make sure the room feels full and buzzing. That said, the space holds 100 people max, so in the very unlikely event that everyone actually shows up (which has never happened before), thereās a small chance we might not be able to let everyone in. Appreciate your understanding!
