Join us for a refreshed and relaunched Nott Tuesday event with talks from David Chan from CyLon Accelerator and Bal Bansal from Coca-Cola.

Nott Tuesday is a community of people building and growing the startups and tech businesses of Nottingham. 

Each month we come together to hear stimulating speakers give talks on the challenges of starting and running a technology business, practical guidance on operating a business and exploring future technologies for new opportunities.

Most of all Nott Tuesday is an opportunity for business people and aspiring entrepreneurs to come together, meet like-minded people, share knowledge and grow.

Everyone is welcome and there are no tickets required. Just turn up - it's free!

We will have the team from Shutter Socks filming the event this month! Don't worry if you'd rather not be on camera, just let us know when you arrive and we'll sort it out.
