On Monday in Atlanta, The Roothosted two of our best events so far: manCODE and Young, Fabulous and Female.
The night included an enjoyable cocktail hour, followed by two intriguing panels, and finished with an exciting after-party with a fantastic DJ.
The feedback from both panels was overwhelmingly positive, and the night overall was one of knowledge, networking and fun.
