Nossos Eventos

After a short intro, we'll get into groups/pairs or work solo - whatever people feel most comfortable with - and start building. We usually work through a kata, but we're open to suggestions, if there's something specific you'd like to cover, please let us know.

You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in - this could be a language you are familiar with or new to. So far we have seen Python, Javascript, C#, VB, Rust and Elixir. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.

Throughout we will be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders. There's no need to be a professional developer - if you're interested, come along.

Food and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available. All you need to do is bring a machine if you'd like to code along.

Join us for a unique event designed specifically for current and aspiring Chief Technology Officers at the Aspiring CTOs Club. This gathering will blend mentorship and networking in an informal, unconference-style setting, perfect for sharing experiences, learning from peers, and building valuable connections.

This event offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with seasoned CTOs and fellow tech leaders in a relaxed environment.

Whether you're seeking advice on career progression, insights into emerging technologies, or simply want to expand your professional network, this event is for you.

If you attend, you’ll definitely get a chance to meet and network with established CTOs. Whether you’re the type to proactively ask questions or prefer to sit back and listen to the inquiries of others, this event is tailored to suit both introverted and extroverted personalities. This event is open to anyone and everyone interested in pursuing the path of a CTO.

Enjoy a collaborative atmosphere, where you'll have the chance to connect, learn, and grow alongside others who share your ambition to lead in the tech world. Don't miss this opportunity to take the next step in your journey toward becoming a CTO.

Back by popular demand, for our March meetup, we're hosting an Architecture Kata. Join us for this session and get the chance to flex your software architectural design muscles!

What's the format?
You'll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You'll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context.

As with real-life you'll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.

At the end of the task you will showcase your architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion and you'll be able to decide if you'd make any decisions differently after receiving feedback and seeing what other groups designed.

This session is all about collaborative learning, skill enhancement and networking in a relaxed environment. You don’t need to be experienced in Architecture to participate.

This is an excellent opportunity to try out Software Architecture in a collaborative, supportive and fun environment.

Food and Drinks
Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival, with vegetarian, gluten free and vegan options available.

Want to bring a friend? Great! Just ask them to RSVP so we know they are coming.

No need to bring your laptop this time, we will provide pens, paper and post-its for each group.

After a brief introduction, we’ll dive into a coding kata, such as one from the Katalyst website. This is a collaborative and hands-on session, where we encourage pairing up and practicing Test Driven Development (TDD). The goal is to practice, learn from each other, and explore new approaches. There’s no pressure to arrive at a working solution.

You can code in the language of your choice – whether it's one you're proficient with, or one you're exploring for the first time. This session is all about collaboration, honing your skills, and expanding your network in a fun and relaxed setting.

Throughout the event, we’ll share ideas, discuss best practices, and take the opportunity to learn from one another. A basic knowledge of programming is recommended to get the most out of the session, but you don’t need to be an expert.

Food and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

Description
This will be an evening of learning, hands-on demonstrations, and open discussion. Carl will walk us through the latest advancements in AI software development, showcasing practical examples and exploring how we can apply these tools to our own projects. Plus, there’ll be plenty of time for Q&A—so bring your questions!

What’s the format?
The evening will kick off with a presentation from Carl, where he’ll discuss AI tooling and how it’s shaping modern development.

Next, he’ll demonstrate these tools in action, with opportunities for attendees to get involved—whether by trying them out or suggesting creative ideas to test on the spot.

Throughout, we’ll keep the discussion open and interactive, asking any questions we might have, and sharing experiences and insights as a community. We’ll also round things off with general conversation and networking around these discussions.
