Brum.JS 2021 Virtual Relaunch

Hey all 👋 Brum.JS will be relaunching virtually on 25th Feb at 7pm and it'd be amazing to see as many of you there as possible.

Ben Foxall will be bringing us a talk on visualising LIDAR data in the browser, with a live interactive browser based demo -- so do bring a second device 🌈

We'll also be hosting 3 awesome lightning talks from Becky Pauley, Stefan Kudev and Helen Kent (details below) ⚡️

Of course it wouldn't be Brum.JS without our usual social slots to get to catch up and meet new people!

Whilst we can't provide the usual tasty local food and drink while we're running virtually, you're more than welcome to bring drinks and nibbles 🍹

7:50pm: Ben Foxall - Visualising LIDAR data in the browser

We'll be aiming to wrap up around 8:50pm but similar to IRL Brum.JS we will be leaving the room open for a virtual "pub" for anyone who fancies more chat.
