See all- October Social NightBrewDog Bristol Harbourside, Bristol
Hi everyone, we’re still working on getting back into a regular rhythm with our tech talk nights, as we’ve been facing some challenges with securing venues. However, good news—we’ve locked in a space for November to host the talk night that was originally planned for September. In the meantime, for October, let's turn this meetup into a social! We're excited to keep the momentum going with regular meetups, even if it's just a casual get-together.
In the meantime, if you are inspired to submit a talk please visit our CFP form here or if you/you're company are keen to host given how much it helps with recruiting please get in contact.
See you there!
