This Month
GeekUp Leeds celebrates it's first birthday! Apart from there being lots of cake (hint), we will be following the regular format with a selection of 20:20's:

* Colin May on "Scaling your site - things to consider now and in the future that'll make your life a lot easier when your site takes off"
* Tim Waters on "Alternate Reality Games". Sign up for some extracurricular Labyrinth Training here

There's still space for one more 20:20 if anyone feels the need.

The 20:20 style format is outlined on the GeekUp wiki, but it’s essentially 20 slides, with 20 seconds per slide.

What is GeekUp?
GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Preston and Manchester and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.

Who can attend GeekUp?
While the focus for GeekUp is predominately web related anybody involved in the technology industry is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.

I'll try to have a cake ready for the event.
It won't be the semantic web layer cake, though.
