Head towards the big lifts, ask for #9 on the touchscreens then look for the FES signs when you leave the lift on the 9th floor.

Nathan Richards - A Design Thinking Approach to using AI in Engineering
Nathan will provide a brief overview of the Design Thinking framework and then walk us through the processes he personally uses to solve complex problems and deliver complex features at Enterprise level at Storyblok.

Sian Atkinson - How ‘good communication’ looks completely different to everyone
A talk about how our tiny habits can be the reason we find ourselves on entirely different pages to each other. And how to better articulate our very unique pots of knowledge, without diminishing it.

Post-meetup social
We're trying something a bit different this month: Pattern Club - the 'live coding' music electronic showcase is running a gig at Sidney & Matilda just down the road.
We are proposing going together, for those who are interested, in lieu of a pub-social.
You'll need to buy tickets here:
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/patternclub/2071368
At the gig you will likely see music software in use that has been previously demonstrated to us by some of our past speakers, such as Strudel - which is why we thought it might be a nice idea.
We have no formal relationship with Pattern Club or Sidney & Matilda: you'll need to sort your own tickets!
