At Tech Nottingham we are very pleased to present our morning event Tech on Toast.
Come along before work to get a free breakfast, to hear some of Nottingham's brightest talk about their companies and their projects and to socialise with the other members of the local tech community.
We'll be serving a range of breakfast options in a relaxed environment and all are welcome, regardless of technical background.
And what's more - This month Accelerate Places are offering 10 free desk spaces to Tech on Toast guests! Located on the first floor, they'll be available from 9am to 5pm on the day.
What’s on this month?
February’s Tech on Toast will feature two brilliant talks from the local tech community! Each talk is short and snappy; designed to kick-start conversation and give you some tangible ideas to take away.
An Insight into Design Methodology
by Helen Clark
Being a digital designer can be hard to define. There are a variety of job titles resulting in designers having different titles but working in the same way. On the flip side, there are designers with the same job title taking very different approaches.
In the sometimes confusing, but always exciting, world of digital design, it's up to designers to forge their own path. In this short talk, Helen will take you on a tour of her design methodology which involves emojis, scribbles and asking ‘what if…?’
