Developer Meetup - Manchester, 1st March

This Wednesday (the 1st of March) sees the first UK developer meetup of 2023 and our first in Manchester for far too long. We've got some brilliant talks lined up from some great speakers in a fantastic venue (The Everyman Cinema, Manchester St. John's). 

The lineup includes:

  • Mark Stott, Lead Optimizely Developer at 26 talking about simplifying a new website build on CMS 12
  • Mark Everard, Optimizely Consultant talking about Liquid Templating
  • Paul Gruffydd, Technical Director at Kin + Carta talking about GraphQL and Optimizely Content Graph
  • Simon Chapman, Lead Solution Architect at Optimizely talking about how to run successful Experimentation Projects with Optimizely

As always, tickets are free (though please register) and we'll be laying on food and drinks during the evening.

Doors open from 17:15 and talks begin at 18:00. All the talks should be wrapped up by 20:30 but feel free to stick around afterwards in the bar area for a drink and a chat.

This promises to be a fantastic event so be sure to register your place via the form on the Optimizely events page (select "Manchester - Mar 1"):
