Are You Ready for Lasso Con 2?

It’s that time already – Lasso Con 2 is finally here! On Saturday 4th December and Sunday the 5th, we’re back with around four hours of Ted Lasso celebrations! If you’re reading this, I am going to assume you already know what Lasso Con is – but if not, head to this post.

This post (which looks better on mobile!) is a brief outline of what is happening at Lasso Con 2.

• We’ll kick off at 12pm Pacific (that’s 8pm GMT) – both days.
• Timings below will not be exact.
• Talks will last approximately 15-20 minutes. Most will include a Q&A – so be sure to get some questions ready and join the conversation on Twitter! (Use #lassocon2)

• We’re going to have an “After Party” on Zoom – only for attendees.
