I love Brighton for its cultural diversity, I also love it for its many small and midsize IT organizations in and around it and this makes it the perfect place to meet, network , learn and swap skills and experiences from a variety of IT professionals.
This affords me the opportunity to learn outside my own experiences as and knowledge Technical person.
I particularly enjoy going to:
- GBP₤5 events
- A meet-up for programmers, web developers and designers to discuss and showcase their “£5 apps” - lightweight software created by one or two people who take a simple idea and run with it.
- Brighton vine
- A networking group launched specifically to support entrepreneurs in the Brighton area. Our aim is to encourage business owners to develop themselves and their businesses.
