Events are a great way for us to get together, share ideas and have fun.

Regardless of whether an event is just a 1-1 workshop, small gathering or massive talk; any and all members of the Hackspace should feel empowered to run an event or group if they wish. If you have an idea for an event or are willing to run a workshop and need advice, there are several channels of help available!

Either:

  • Post your idea on our google group
  • Contact the Events team via Slack

If you are looking for inspiration, some of our past events have been recorded using the Events Category tag.
