Our UK Tech Leader Tour

Chad Pytel and Maria Filimonova and Rob Whittaker in United Kingdom

For more than a year now we’ve been running a regular monthly in-person meetup of tech leaders in London. The event is an informal gathering of design, development, product, and business leaders who are all working on cool things in and around the London area. With drinks, snacks, and great conversation, it’s been really nice to have a regular event where we can bring folks together.

We’ve enjoyed this so much, this year we’re bringing the event to Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, and Edinburgh, while continuing our regular monthly tech leader event in London.

February

We already have registration open for February events in London and Manchester:

While we’re in Manchester, Aji Slater will also be speaking at the NWRUG meeting on February 19.

Later this year

  • March: we’re headed to Bristol
  • June: we’ll be in Brighton (and also attending Brighton Ruby Conference)
  • November: we’ll be in Edinburgh

We’re excited to bring this event to more cities and to connect with more folks across the UK in-person in 2026. If you’re local to one of these cities, we hope you’ll join us. As we get closer to each event, we’ll be posting the registration links here at https://thoughtbot.com/london and our social accounts.
