About Tech on the Tyne

Tech on the Tyne is a free technology focussed meetup run by Reed’s technology division for those who are looking to get ‘hands on’ with the latest technologies.

The events are based on a kata format – a structured learning routine – and in attending, you’ll discover exciting technologies to get your teeth into. All you need to do is bring your laptop.
