About us
Software Crafters Manchester is a space for the Northern software engineering community to learn, share, and experiment together.
Founded on the principles of the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto, we bring together experienced practitioners to sharpen their technical discipline, explore modern engineering practices, and discuss the realities of delivering complex software in fast-moving organisations. We also actively welcome engineers earlier in their careers who want to learn from seasoned peers and deepen their craft.
Our events vary in format: hands-on coding sessions, structured discussions, talks, and panel conversations with practitioners from across the industry. With rapid advances in AI, platforms, and tooling, the community is a place to test new ideas, challenge assumptions, and share what’s working (and what isn’t) in modern software development.
We are a community of active professionals who value:
- Maintainability and technical integrity over “just working” software
- Consistent value delivery within complex and changing business environments
- Thoughtful, respectful technical discourse across experience levels
- Productive collaboration, mentoring, and peer learning
We’re always keen to hear new voices. If you have a topic, experience, or perspective to share; whether a talk, a discussion topic, or a hands-on session, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’re committed to software engineering as a discipline, whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or growing into the craft, we’d love to see you at our next session.
Please contact hello@codurance.com should you have any queries or requests.
