👩‍💻👨‍💻 Who

The meetup is open to everyone including hobbyists, students, and the tech-curious. Our main audience is professional digital workers and undergrads.

We are working on a Code of Conduct which we plan to enforce, to build a healthy community where everyone feels welcome.

💻 What

We are not being fussy about tech stack as Southport is a fairly small catchment area! So we are open to everything from .Net to MEAN, Excel scripters to Pythonistas.

We hope that you can bring what you find interesting to the group, because we will probably find it interesting too!

📢 Format

We have a techy main talk and Q+A, all wrapped up in some nice coffee and chatting times.

In future occasions, we'd like to have more "lightning talk" slots, as well as time for everyone to network and demo what you're working on.

The purpose of the group is to bring together those people who are interested in building a digital tech business in Lancashire, or furthering their digital and tech career. The group will bring together like-minded people on a monthly basis in a learning community to hear talks from industry and academia around digital technologies. There will be plenty of opportunity to network and meet new people as well as listen to great talks. Each month we'll move to a different location in the county. The meet-ups will be held once monthly in the evening and include free food and refreshments.
