Where 📍
This meetup will take place in Belfast within the Slice office space located in the city centre.
The Slices office is located beside City Picnic/Primark - the entrance to the building has large glass doors leading to an elevator. If you have any issues finding the building, feel free to reach out via meetup to the organisers or via Twitter/slack.

Refreshments 🍕
Food and drinks will be provided.

We aim to provide an option for everyone so we will always aim to have soft drinks/water, gluten-free, and veggie options available. However, to reduce waste we base our order on the number of people that request these options. If you have a dietary requirement, please let us know and we will try out best to help.
