What we’re about
Coven of Wisdom
A meetup community for sharing and learning all things technology in Amsterdam.
Born from the ashes of the Frontend Coding NL meetup group, we want to broaden our horizons. Digital projects aren't merely front-end. They're a collaborative effort between all types of technologies and experts.
With the Coven of Wisdom, we want to encourage digital talents to take a look over the proverbial fence and share insights on other parts of the tech stack. All this in a very accessible, informal way.
We are always open for speakers and topics who want to share what they're working on, what you discovered, or what perhaps could ungrind some gears. Drop us a DM if you're interested.
This community is proudly sponsored by iO.
