What we’re about
Bringing together Manchester's tech specialists to network, share insight and build a community across areas such a s Data, Analytics, CRO, UX/UI, Product, Tech, and Dev.
Introducing: “Technically Speaking: A new, free to attend Meetup for Data - Tech - Product - CRO - UX/UI – Analytics.”
Recently I’ve noticed there is a real hunger within my network to get back to normality and start meeting up face to face again. Pre-covid there were tons of Meetups, conferences, events and the like happening, but sadly many of them haven’t returned. With there being so few options out there at the moment, but knowing there was an appetite for it, I decided it was time to do something about it, so: I’ve decided to organise my own!
I’ve been part of the Data/Tech world in Manchester for over five years’ now, and I feel really strongly that having a space where the data/tech network can come together, to share insights, ideas, and techniques is vital for the North West to continue to be a leader in this space. It promotes collaboration between people that are technically competitors, fosters a sense of community, and means we are all able to upskill one another – all of which the North West is known for excelling in.
Technically Speaking will give our wonderful community of geeks the chance to listen to talks, meet people in the industry and chill out with a room full of people whose families have no idea what they do. It’s a fantastic opportunity to make some new connections and learn, whether you’re a student considering their career options in digital, a Head of Department looking to share their experience, or anyone in between. There’ll also be food and the odd tipple or two!
We’ll have four brilliant speakers lined up each giving a 10/15 minute talk on something that interests them. The first three will be from people with a background in one of the following areas: Data - Tech - Product - CRO - UX/UI - Analytics.
The fourth and final talk will be something light-hearted and focused on the positive development of everyone attending, whether that be mental health tips, a stress workshop, or advice on how to climb the career ladder.
