The "Morning After" Breakfast Mixer

The Morning After Breakfast is where you refuel, reconnect, and pick up the threads from the reception and the Berlin Music Tech Meetup before the festival floor fills up again. Grab a coffee, help yourself to something to eat, and find the person you meant to talk to yesterday but didn't quite get to.
