The organizer withholds the exact street address until the guest-confirmation process. Registration requires organizer approval. Confirm admission before making plans.

A question to bring
The technology-ecosystem relevance comes from that stated founder audience and startup-support context, rather than from poker itself. Prospective guests should use the official registration for admission and any participation terms. The source does not establish stakes, prizes or guaranteed introductions, and this listing makes no claim about them.
