We are excited to announce the full line-up for our March event. We wanted to try an experiment at this event and skip the beer to see how a dry event goes. We'll still have plenty of pizza and soft drinks

18:15 - Pizza and soft drinks

18:50 - Dmitri Grabov - I built a school, I liked it
Dmitri will talk about his experience of building a coding bootcamp. He will focus on the many challenges faced and lessons learned which you can apply to your own startup.

19:10 - Douglas Squirrel - The Squirrel Test: What I Learnt from 30 Startups in 3 Years.
Since 2015, I've worked as a consulting CTO with a wide variety of growing companies, including Geckoboard, DueDil, Lostmy.name, BookingBug, BridgeU, and MarketInvoice - and in that time, I've seen most of the common (and uncommon) ways to screw up your startup. Using this experience and taking inspiration from Joel Spolsky, I've compiled the Squirrel Test: a short list of questions you can answer in under 5 minutes to determine what might be keeping you from scaling successfully. As well as looking at and explaining the questions, I'll share some fun and terrifying stories from the front lines.

19:30 - Break

19:45 - Denise Xifara - Making sense of the diversity in news
