We’ll also be following along live on the #tech-nottingham-monthly channel on Slack for general event chat and Q&A.
You can join from your computer, phone or tablet - all you need is an internet connection. As we’re using both Zoom and Slack, and we’ll be running interactive activities, a computer or tablet would work better.
