Thames Valley Umbraco Meetup

Following the success of the last meetup we have another one lined up with two great speakers.

We are holding the event at the new venue, The Curious Lounge.

Austin Fraser will be sponsoring the pizzas and soft drinks at this meetup.
The Curious Lounge have kindly allowed us to use their venue.

Running order (approximate times)

18:30 - Network, chat, catchup and drinks

19:00 - Welcome and introduction - John Seto

19:05 - A word from our sponsor - Nicole McGrane (Austin Fraser)

19:10 - "Packages + DI in v8" - Callum Whyte (Umbraco MVP, Umbraco UK Festival Organiser, UmbraCoffee host)

19:50 - Break for drinks and pizza

20:10 - "Pilot Decision Management" - Clifford Agius (Freelance developer, Boeing 787 Dreamliner Pilot)

This talk explores Clifford's experience as a Boeing 787 Dreamliner Pilot and the critical decision management skills required therein.
As an Airline pilot, you may be required to make a decision often quickly to react to a situation as it presents itself and you will discover a way to achieve this called TDODAR. This model ensures that you achieve a safe outcome for all on board and Clifford often finds himself using the same model when facing a problem whilst wearing his Dev hat and it's yet to fail him.

21:00 - closing and decamp to a pub nearby
