Tech Events at Assay Studios, Birmingham

The Birmingham chapter of The Marketing Meetup, back at Assay Studios on Newhall Street. Doors at 6pm with snacks, a hello at 6:30, then a talk or two, and from 7:15 open conversation until 8. The speaker for this edition is still to be confirmed. What is fixed is the format: the community runs on 'come in listen mode', with an explicit no-selling, no-networking-bingo rule. Sponsored by Squibble, with The Keynote Club, TCNUK and HighLevel supporting. Tickets are pay-what-you-like from GBP 5 to GBP 50 - the average chosen is GBP 11.38 - and there is a published hardship route if the minimum is a stretch. Three unnotified no-shows and they prioritise someone else. Why go: it is the least transactional marketing room in the city, and the one most likely to be useful if you are new to Birmingham or to marketing. Book now and take the speaker on trust.

A relaxed coworking day at TCN's Assay Studios for local freelancers, creatives and small-business owners.

Social Circle's December meetup at Assay Studios on Newhall Street, 18:00 to 20:00. Kirstie and Sally run through the year's innovations and trends across social platforms and the tooling around them, there is a guest speaker, and then a festive quiz for marketers before the networking carries on. The group started as friends meeting monthly to talk about social media marketing and opened it up to other digital marketers; the stated aim is instant, actionable insight rather than theory. A free drink is included and everyone is encouraged to join the discussion rather than just listen. Free. Why go: a year-in-review from people who do this for clients every day, at the point in December when you are planning next year's social. Best for social and digital marketers, in-house or agency.
