Sponsors

Big thanks to our sponsors RightScale for providing food and FanDuel for drinks, they're both hiring front-end JavaScript developers among other positions.

Interesting in speaking?

We're looking for speakers at future events, whether it's 20-30mins or a 5 minute lightning talk. You don't need to be an expert or an experienced speaker, just enthusiasm for something that interests you. Please get in touch with me on rory@fitzpatrick.fm or grab me on the night, I'll be happy to talk through any ideas/concerns you have or put you in touch with someone that can.

Long story short: Be awesome to each other.

Our goal is to have an awesome and inclusive community meetup where people meet, hang out together, chat, listen to talks, exchange ideas and make new friends. Any harmful or discriminating behaviour will not be tolerated and results in the offending person being expelled from the meetup.
