- -Meet and Greet
- -Rundown of side projects by Northamptonshire geeks
Series of snappy presentations and demos where everyone can share the results of their weekend hacks. In no particular order, not limited to any category. The idea is to present what our local geeks are about and connect people with similar interests.
Accessibility #
Our venue is wheelchair accessible, and we provide on-site assistance for anyone requiring additional support during the meetup. While we currently do not offer live captioning for talks, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment and welcome all participants. Please contact the organisers with any specific accessibility requirements.
Food and drinks #
Learning new things and socialising with others is a lot easier when you are properly energised. Pizza, some sweets and beverages are on us. There is something for everyone: pepperoni pizza, vegan ones, fizzy drinks, water and a selection of beers. You are welcome!
