With nothing but a stack of prompt cards and a room full of memories, panelists share personal tales about work mishaps, wardrobe malfunctions, awkward nicknames, cooking catastrophes, and more.
What begins as casual conversation quickly becomes a rich tapestry of lived experiences, from early jobs and technology troubles to surprise doppelgängers and memorable nights out.
