We’re once again closing MOD festival with a wrap party, and you are all invited. Let’s get together to compare notes from the week, cheer with a Garage Project beer, and share ideas.

Come on down nice and early to explore Big Pic’s interactive installation. Grab a beverage, build your own furniture, meet new humans, and swap some more Hummingly cards. Once you are all warmed up and you have left the business of the week behind you, get ready to be challenged by some great speakers.
