🎉 I'm excited to share that our next event will be held at The Ship in the City of London. As this is our first one at this location, I want to keep it light so there are no real agendas or format to it other than come and socialise!
📍 We'll be up on the Top Deck, up the stairs, and the room holds about 50.
🍻 For those who are hungry after a day's work in the evening, I plan to serve some simple finger foods there. It's on me, so just head over when you finish work!
♻️ To be transparent about it, I plan to just grab some Too Good To Go nearby, because that's the time all the stores are closing up. It does mean it's random what we end up with, so I can't promise anything for allergies, veggie or halal. If that's you, please don't rely on it.
🙏 They've given us this space on the proviso that we spend at the bar, so please support them and us!
💡 I want to meet you all, pick your brains, and discuss how to build this new community together. I have some ideas, such as if you guys would like gatherings where we can have a 30min slot to do 5min lightning talks + drinks and hangout. Or if you'd like hackathon-style short sessions where we can form small groups and compete with each other, setting a timer to see what we can create as teams and we vote on each other's ideas to pick a winner, and the losing team can buy the winning team a round of drinks haha. The ideas are endless. I want you to be part of how this community runs and it needs to be fun! That's the only requirement.
👋 So come and join our new niche group for Asians & Gingers in Tech. By the way, you don't really have to be South/South East Asian or Ginger to join. This is the place to come and meet South/South East Asians and Gingers. You're always welcome, and I hope everyone brings friends too!
