Hacks/Hackers April Meetup

Note that the date and the venue have been changed

April's Hacks/Hackers London will have an EU referendum theme.

We'll be hosted by our generous friends at the Institute of Directors.

We've changed the date to accommodate speakers who will be passing through London. We are delighted to be able to announce the following all-star line up.

I would really like to come but don't have a place

As usual, we are offering a limited number of £10 tickets (+ Eventbrite commission). You can buy a ticket to jump the queue and secure a place. We are committed to free events but buying a ticket is a great way of showing your support as it helps with the booze bill.

To buy a £10 ticket go to this Eventbrite link (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hackshackers-april-meetup-tickets-24399813499).
