MagentoLeeds 2020 - Developer Focused

We’re back with a bang, kicking off 2020 with a brand-new Magento Meetup Leeds event on Thursday 23rd January from 6.30pm – 8pm.

Hear from four fantastic speakers providing valuable insight into using automation in development, client/agency collaboration and the importance of continuous problem solving and innovation.
