# 🎃 Halloween Nightmares: When Code Goes Bump in the Night

Dare to face your greatest fears? Join us for our annual Halloween Nightmares event – where the scaries come from production environments and the monsters are merge conflicts gone wrong.

## What to Expect

Forget the polished case studies and picture-perfect deployments. This Halloween, we're pulling back the curtain on the projects that haunted us: the spectacular failures, the midnight panics, and the oh-no-we-didn't-just-push-that-to-prod moments.

Why celebrate failure? Because the best lessons come from the worst disasters. Our speakers will share their hard-won wisdom from the trenches – the kind of knowledge you can't get from documentation.

## The Details

📍 Where: Softwire's offices, Manchester
🎃 When: 30th October 17:30
🍻 What's Included: Drinks and refreshments throughout the evening
(Softwire knocked it out of the park when they hosted our 1st anniversary special in February – expect the same brilliant hospitality!)

## Your Storytellers of Doom

Shahzadi Saira Awan – Software Engineer at Booking.com and Bupa Everywoman Digital Star Winner 2025
Softwire – Our gracious hosts with tales to tell
Mystery Speaker – One slot remaining! Got a nightmare project that still makes you shudder? We want to hear about it.

***

Come for the cautionary tales. Stay for the camaraderie. Leave with lessons that might just save your next project.
Happy Halloween – see you there! 👻
