Cleanweb February - Lightning Talks
- Feb 25, 2013 · 7:00 PM
After so many of you braved ice and snow to make our last event in January we’ve definitely got a treat for you this month.
More fantastic talks & people! Free food & drinks! Live streaming! New venue! Oh my!
When and where
The second cleanweb UK meetup of 2013 is taking place on 25th Feb, at Forward Technology’s lovely event space, with more than double the capacity of our last venue.
After leading with a talk about Building Sustainable Cities from Honest Buildings, we’re opening up the floor to the community, for a series of lighting talks.
New to lightning talks?
For those new to the format, lightning talks are simply short talks, designed for ease of participation.
If you’re working on an interesting project, or found something cleanwebby and worth sharing, and you can fit into 5 minutes, then here’s your chance to share it with a community of like minded people. We've put together a quick guide for anyone thinking of speaking here, to answer a few common questions.
Extra perks this month
Also, because Forward are such wonderful, wonderful people, not only are they opening up their bar to us, and providing the pizza - all gratis, but they’ll also be helping us livestream the talks, and record them to put up here.
Huzzah!
Programme:
- 6:30 - 7pm: Doors open
- 7pm - 7:25 Nick Katz, Honest Buildings Building Sustainable Cities from Honest Buildings

really interesting and varied; the only criticism i'd have is that they weren't very cleantech-oriented, but i don't mind because they were engrossing anyway.

I'll defer to you in this regard, I don't really know where either name came from. But if there is a difference then I'll be sure to use it to troll Chris in the future...
