It's a way of seeing what your fellow attendees are playing with or thinking about, or if you're keen, it's a great way for you to show something interesting you've been tinkering with, or a topic where you don't have enough content for a long talk.
With our friendly attendees, this is a safe place to dip your toe into speaking in front of an audience. If you want to apply for a spot, please fill in the form here https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/SNjYcUvwhBVenue
This meeting is at BrightHR in the Peninsula Building which is close to Victoria railway station & the AO Arena.There will be someone in the foyer who will sign you in and then tell you how to find the venue.
This is a free event - there is no charge for a ticket or for the refreshments.
This event is in the form of a talk so you don't need to bring a laptop.
We often get enough RSVP's for there to be a waiting list; the list has always cleared by the early part of the week of the talk, but this relies on you releasing your ticket if you can no longer attend. Please remember to do this if your plans change.
Please ensure we have an email address that you do look at, so we can let you know of any last minute changes; and please use your full name on the site as it's the only way we, or the fire service, can account for you in the case of an evacuation/emergency/fire etc.
Catering will be provided (pizza and drinks). If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know via the event chat.
If you would need assistance to leave the building in the event of an evacuation then please let us know via the event chat and when you arrive.
Note for recruitment professionals - we don't exclude recruiters from our meetings but we would ask you to contact Rick Garner for a brief chat before you start attending.
