About this event
If you’re in Bogotá for CTW and want a more relaxed, human way to connect, this unofficial half-day tour offers a welcome change of pace. It’s a chance to step outside the usual event flow, spend meaningful time with other attendees, and experience the city together instead of only passing through it. This is built for people who like good conversation, shared context, and a social setting that feels easy to join. Whether you already know people in the community or you’re looking for a better entry point, the format makes it simple to meet others without the pressure of a formal networking room. About the Event This is an unofficial, in-person half-day group outing taking place in Bogotá, Colombia during CTW. It combines the energy of a meetup with the ease of a local social plan: show up, meet the group, and spend the morning exploring and talking with people who are also choosing a more personal side of the week. Because it’s a half-day format, the commitment stays manageable. You can take part, make genuine connections, and still keep the rest of your day open for other plans, meetings, or downtime. That balance makes it especially appealing if you want something more memorable than a quick coffee chat, but lighter than a full-day excursion. The unofficial nature is part of the appeal. This is not a stage-led program or a tightly scripted conference session. It’s a community-driven social experience designed to bring people together in a way that feels natural, conversational, and grounded in place. What to Expect Expect a morning meetup and shared outing with a group of CTW-adjacent attendees who want to connect in person. The pace is social and flexible, with room for introductions, casual conversation, and the kind of spontaneous side discussions that rarely happen when everyone is rushing between scheduled commitments. You can expect the experience to include: A clear morning start time so the group can get moving together Informal networking in a setting that feels more relaxed than a formal event venue Small-group conversations that form naturally as people walk, chat, and spend time together A community atmosphere shaped by curiosity, openness, and shared interest A half-day structure that leaves space in the afternoon for whatever comes next Rather than centering presentations or panels, this tour centers shared presence. The real value comes from the setting and the time: you’re not only exchanging names or roles, you’re getting a better sense of who people are, what they care about, and what brings them to Bogotá. If you usually find that the best conference moments happen between the official sessions, this is very much in that spirit. It creates a container for those moments on purpose. Why Attend A lot of event networking is efficient, but not especially memorable. This tour offers a different kind of connection: slower, more conversational, and easier to build on afterward. Spending several hours with the same group tends to create stronger rapport than a series of short introductions in a crowded room. You should attend if you want to: Meet people in a more natural setting than a formal venue or scheduled mixer Make your CTW experience feel more local and social Turn loose connections into real conversations Break up the usual event routine with something energizing and grounded Spend time with people who are open to community, exchange, and shared exploration There’s also practical value in the format. A half-day outing is long enough to create momentum with new people, but short enough to fit around a busy schedule. You don’t need to reorganize your entire day to take part. For many attendees, experiences like this become the most useful part of a trip: not because they are the most polished, but because they create context, trust, and follow-up conversations that continue well after the event itself. Practical Details This event is in person in Bogotá, Colombia and starts on Sunday, August 24 at 9:00 AM GMT-5.

The setting is social, community-oriented, and designed for real-world interaction rather than passive attendance.
