Why2025-orga-meetings

Every once in a while, we attend WHY_2025 Orga meetings, either in person or through Jitsi, to gain insight into what the event orga is working on and to ask questions if needed.
nb. these are notes made and shared between people from Milliways from a Milliways perspective. These are not necessarily Meeting Minutes.

Official minutes here.

• The Drum'nBass festival Liquicity has moved to be so close to WHY that there is actually a very brief overlap with their teardown and our buildup on 29th/30th July.
