Stoke has hosted Coffee + Convo in various formats over the years. During 2022's iteration, we'll start with a quick intro., describe the topic or guiding question of the day, and dive into how the session so the mentor and peers can best help you with what you're working on. Each mentor has varying expertise in different fields, so every session will be a little different! This is a low-key morning meetup with high impact on your toolkit!
