What is GeekUp? GeekUp is a community of web designers, developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston and Sheffield, and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.
Sheffield GeekUp takes place on the
first Wednesday of every month. If you'd like to contribute a
20:20 presentation or facilitate a Huddle at a Sheffield gathering, please get in touch or leave details on the GeekUp
wiki.
Who can attend GeekUp? Anybody involved or interested in technology is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.
