Meetups and Events
We run regular meetups on the last thursday of every other month (you can find them listed on meetup.com/techexeter) and we also run other events from time to time!
“Really friendly group – lots of smart and engaging people.”
“… a good group with a fairly diverse mix of people and interests in the industry. It’s the perfect ground for expanding your knowledge from other professionals experiences …”
“Nice blend of tech/non-tech and some interesting conversations and debates. Very worthwhile”
“Good talks and event at @Exeter_Web last night! Look forward to seeing what comes of #TechExeter”
“The ladies are absolutely rocking @Exeter_Web, impressive talk from Rachel from @informatics_lab”
“Brilliant talks at @Exeter_Web this evening on machine learning and webgl”
The meetups are normally informal gatherings which begin with three 10 minute talks, Q&As and then networking afterwards. This super-friendly group includes engineers, designers, software developers, data scientists and many more tech related professions from all walks of life.
The events are great opportunities for peer-learning and meeting other professionals in the field of tech. The informal environment and friendly audience make it a great place to try public speaking and practice presentation skills – we welcome speakers on many different subjects, whether it is their first or one-hundredth talk!
