Lightning talks October 2026

🕡 Doors open 18:30
📋 Intro and admin 18:50
🗣️ Several speakers (🕖 start at 19:00)
Our October meetup is a lightning talk night: short talks, several speakers, one evening.

On the bill so far:
🗣️ Andrew Gibson - There's more to life than "try...catch"
🗣️ Christopher Maughan - Building an agent friendly terminal harness
🗣️ Kevin Smith - Semantic Search & MongoDB
🗣️ David Betteridge - A testing time

We have room for a couple more talks. If you fancy a 5-15 minute slot on anything a room of software developers would enjoy, pitch one here: https://forms.gle/1kE99y9gdw3xDAMcA

First-time speakers are very welcome, and we are happy to help you shape the talk. You do not need to speak to come along, all are welcome.

🍕 Food will be provided, let us know if you have dietary requirements
🔗 Finish off with Q&A, networking, and 🍻
