Tech Events by TechNW

NetMCR, the Manchester .NET community meetup, listed on the TechNW calendar - talks and discussion for .NET developers in the North West.

CTO Craft's Manchester mixer: a relaxed evening for CTOs and technology leaders to swap stories and experiences over drinks. Hosted by CTO Craft with Dave McKerral and Rob Bowley at The Old Monkey, 90 Portland Street. There are no speakers or set talks, so it's conversation-led. Free, registration through CTO Craft's Luma page. The organiser's page runs it 17:30 to 20:30. Why go: a small room of engineering leaders in a city with few CTO-only gatherings. Best for CTOs, heads of engineering and tech leads who want peer conversation rather than a pitch.

The North West Ruby User Group's November meeting, listed on the TechNW calendar - talks and discussion for Ruby developers across the region.

NetMCR is a monthly techni-social for the North West's network engineers, architects and technicians, run by TechNW volunteers. It was set up to fill the gap left by Manchester meetups that lean towards software development and cloud. This edition is on Thursday 10 December, 19:00-21:00, at Northern Monk Refectory on Tariff Street in the Northern Quarter. It is free. No talks or speakers are published ahead of time, so expect conversation rather than a programme. Check the TechNW calendar the week before in case the venue or details change. Why go: it is one of the few Manchester rooms built for people who run networks rather than apps. Best for network and infrastructure engineers, and anyone hiring or selling into that crowd.

The December meeting of the North West Ruby User Group. The TechNW calendar lists the date and time but gives the venue only as various venues in Manchester, to be confirmed on the group's own site.

TechNW's monthly Manchester networking event at Northern Monk's Northern Quarter taproom. Developers, designers, product managers, and digital professionals from across the Manchester tech community.
