What to expect

A room above a pub, two people who have done the thing, and a lot of good questions afterwards.

The questions are half the evening.

What we stand for

  1. Practical over theoretical

    Real rooms, real problems, real detail. What happened when someone actually tried it.

  2. Honest over hype

    What worked, what did not and what it cost. No future-of-everything talks.

  3. Sustainable by design

    Two hours, light pages, nothing wasted. Easy to come back to every other month.

  4. Not a sales pitch

    Speakers share, they do not sell. Sponsors are labelled and kept small.

  5. Inclusive by design

    You do not need to write code to belong. Every role in the room has something to bring.

Who it is for

Five kinds of people, one room. You do not need to write code to belong.
