Our Goals
Tech Nottingham meetup aims to build a community of smart people in and around Nottingham and provide an environment in which they can work together, share ideas and get better at what they do.
Tech Nottingham’s community has been a place where people have shared and learned, lifelong friendships have been formed, new business ventures have been hatched and new career paths have been forged. Members can come to see talks, partake in workshops and activities and meet other people in our wonderful field. We encourage our members to present at our events, providing them with as much support as they need to do so.
Walk There Together
We know it can be intimidating walking into a tech event, so a member of the Tech Nottingham team will be meeting any nervous or first-time attendees outside the Theatre Royal at 18:00 before the event so you can all head down there together.
What To Expect At Tech Notts
At Tech Nottingham, our aim is to have a safe, welcoming and inclusive event. Whether you’ve been coming for years or this is your first event, it’s important to us that you have a positive and enjoyable experience.
We know that it’s not always easy to attend a new event, especially if you’re coming by yourself. With this in mind, on this page, you can find helpful information about the event to make your visit as stress-free as possible. So that everyone has a good time, we encourage you to read our code of conduct. If at any time you feel this has been breached, please contact a member of the team (we’re easy to find as we wear Tech Notts t-shirts and hoodies) or email safety@technottingham.com.
Our event is inclusive and open to anyone who wants to attend. Over time, our audience has become more diverse but there are still ways to go to make it more so. If at any time, you experience issues with any form of exclusion, please let us know safety@technottingham.com. Your feedback is not only welcome but vital to help create an inclusive event.
