What kind of events?
We organise free evening events, which we call In-the-Brain Sessions, through these sessions we hope to give you the opportunity to have a peek in the brain of Technology creators and industry thinkers, shakers and movers!
We host various User Group meetings, enabling the community to meet up in our fully equiped premises and share skills and ideas, for example, the London JAVAWUG and .NET User Groups regularly meet at Skills Matter, as well as the London Ruby UG, Groovy & Grails UG, Spring UG, Hadoop UG, London CloudCamp, Eclipse UG and many others
We organise short conferences, which we call eXchanges, ussually very specialised, aimed to give a certain idea, innovation or technology a 'push' by enabling a dedicated, passionate community to meet up, exchange ideas for projects, cooperation and learn.
Finally, we organise training courses, aimed at passionate Enterprise eevelopers, architects and projectmanagers who want to learn new stuff from the source - our courses are authored and taught by well-known experts, often the creators of the course's subject.
Following the excellent response to our Agile Testing and BDD community events and courses during the last 10 months, Skills Matter is proud to organise the first, annual Agile Specification, BDD and Testing eXchange - an intensive and intimate event aimed at bringing together leading thinkers and passionate community members.

What members are saying
“ Others should join to know about emerging technologies like Scala, Groovy, SOA, Spring, etc. ...
”
“ Today's talk was centred around Groovy. You'd be hard pressed to find a more Agile or productive language. So it definitely fits the Agile/Open Source badge of the group. ”
