Welcome to the Project Data Analytics Community. We created this meet up to share best practise on leveraging data within a project, programme and portfolio environment. We all know that data has the potential to transform how projects, programmes and portfolios are delivered, but practical implementation constraints often prevent the full value from being realised. This meetup will explore some of the challenges at the intersection of data analysis and project, programme and portfolio management and discuss how practitioners are working to resolve them, underpinned by real world examples.
\nWe'll also explore how machine learning and AI can help to resolve some of the challenges at the intersection of project / programme management and big data.
\nThe NW Project Data Analytics Meetup expands the hugely successful London Project Data Analytics community across the country.
\nPlease check out our community site at http://projectdataanalytics.uk . We are in the process of refreshing it but it will have details of events, community news, videos, slides, blogs and a series of resources on how to get started in project data analytics.

Welcome... Bonjour... Hola, Ciao!
Social Circle Meet Up is a group of professional individuals who develop friendships, share good times and enjoy life to the full. We have lots of members, but we are always looking for more to enjoy the fun times with. As the saying goes, ‘The more the merrier’.
I know it may look like there is only myself on a Meet Up event, but that really isn’t the case. Our members book directly through our Social Circle Calendar ( https://www.social-circle.co.uk/calendar/ ). So when a booking on our Meet Up says FULLY BOOKED, it really is... not everyone is on Meet Up you know! Our walks regularly have 10-15+ walkers, as do our drinks nights, and our Murder Mystery Night is one of the most popular events on our Calendar. Our city breaks are legendary, and everything is thought of beforehand. Our city breaks are also available for members AND non-members of Social Circle.
So please, try one of our FREE events on this Meet Up page.
It’s FREE, so what have you got to lose?
Lindsey 😀
A friendly, informal get-together to chat Craft CMS and other related topics.

We meet once a month (on the 2nd Thursday), provide ample time for networking, and showcase 2-4 women/non-binary in data speakers who talk about their career paths, role models, challenges faced and data projects that they work on. We also conduct masterclasses a few times each year on topics such as CV writing, interviewing techniques and salary negotiation to empower women to progress in data roles.\n\n[HER+Data](http://herplusdata.org/) is a space where everyone can share their stories and develop. We're volunteer driven so we keep our events simple and informal. There will be great content, laughter and a room full of data women and non-binary people from various backgrounds.

Bringing #YouEqualTech to the North
\nSpinks started the conversation on Diversity in Tech when we launched the tech industry’s first Women in Tech Survey, in partnership with Computer Weekly. Since then the conversation has evolved, moving away from diversity seen only through a gender lens; addressing the need for diverse tech teams and inclusive work places where people feel they fully belong.
\nWe believe in the power of community – #YouEqualTech started 2 years ago in London and is slowly becoming a leading community making change happen through their meetups and network. With over 3000 people in the group we felt it was time to take #YouEqualTech to the North and expand the reach and impact.
\nThe purpose of this group is to bring together people in technology, to continue this incredibly important conversation. Change doesn’t start top down, it has to happen at every level across every function. Community led initiatives are incredibly effective at having wide reaching results and helping to pave the way through learning, talking and hearing what about works/doesn’t work also having the opportunity to hear and see role models from under-represented groups in tech.
\nThe purpose of this meetup is to connect the technology and digital industry to the outside world!
We aim to:
\n• Dispel myths and incorrect perceptions of what it’s like to work in tech and digital.
\n• Educate and inform the various routes into technology and digital career
\n• Work towards gender diversity in tech
\n• Close the skills gap!
\nJoin this group if:
\n• You work in technology or digital and are interested in working towards an inclusive and diverse industry
\n• You do not work in a technical role but are interested in a possible career within the industry
\nWe will be holding regular meet up events and each one will aim to provide practical advice on driving diversity within the technology industry.
\nIf you are interested in being a speaker at one of our events please get in touch with lara.hanson@wearespinks.com
\nYou can also share ideas, initiatives and tips on our #YetNorth LinkedIn group.
\nIt’s super important to us that everyone feels welcome at #YETNorth events, so please familiarise yourselves with our Code of Conduct.

Glug is a series of events for the design and creative community. Our showcase event is held in London but there are now 10 other events around the world.
\nBased around a series of talks and informal networking, Glug has become one of the most exciting, credible and well attended creative events around.
\nEstablished in 2007, it’s an eclectic mix of people from all creative walks of life; from advertising, graphic design and the visual arts through to fashion, architecture and the crafts.
\nIt’s a fine melting pot indeed, regularly attended by creatives, students, clients, cultural voyeurs, hipsters and the industry elite. Come! Be intoxicated and inspired, you’re also bound to make some new contacts, friends and maybe even find that next job/contract/lover.
\nBe part of the movement.
\nCheck the videos here www.vimeo.com/glug, our website www.glugevents.com, Twitter and Facebook.
\nMore Notworking than Networking™
\nPlease note: Refunds will only be processed if the event is cancelled or moved to another date.

Long presentations? Samey topics? Not here. Tech-3 is Manchester's exciting new unconference – designed to get developers, designers and digital professionals talking.
Tech-3's meetup format is simple: 3 tech talking points.
That means:
• Loosely defined topics.
• Just three discussions decided on the night based on a loose theme.
FAQs:
Who are we?
We're a bunch of programmers and designers who want to bring people together.
Why are we doing this?
Because there aren't enough opportunities to have meaningful discussions at existing tech meetups. Some are too niche, so you don't make varied connections. Others have too many PowerPoint presentations, and not enough discussion amongst the attendees. Tech-3 takes a different approach. It's a forum for people to come and be heard and learn from one another.
What should you expect?
Food. Drink. Developers. Designers. Digital pros. All in a nice space. With games consoles.
Who should attend?
Anyone with an interest in designing and building digital products.
We hope to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of ideas, technologies and techniques in the field of software development. Manchester geek nights is organised and supported by Thoughtworks. We meet about once a month, usually on a Wednesday evening in the Thoughtworks offices.
\nPlease note: talks usually start at 18.45. By 19.00 the City Tower office doors are locked. You can still get access from New York Street (the entrance on the opposite side from the bus station), but you will need to call the organiser to come and let you in.

The Marketing Meetup: Manchester is a positive and non-salesy group for the brilliant marketers of Manchester to come together, listen and learn.
\nEvents run once a month and feature two expert speakers, talking stuff about marketing, or at the very least tangential to marketing. All this is bookended by the most informal and happy networking you will ever come across.
\nThere are three values that unite us: listening over shouting, saying hello to everyone, and being positively lovely (that's all about giving first, and treating people as people - not job titles).
\nWe're part of the larger community known as 'The Marketing Meetup', which has positively lovely events across the UK for astonishing marketeers. Podcasts, blog posts, our closed Facebook group and all our other events can be found at themarketingmeetup.com
\nAnyone is welcome to come along, as you come to listen, are prepared to say hello and be positively lovely :).
\n*For more about The Marketing Meetup and our global events, head to The Marketing Meetup. (https://themarketingmeetup.com)*
Agile, Kanban, Lean, Scrum, community in Stockport and surrounding areas. Of particular interest to this group are practices and methods for improving the effectiveness of teams and organisations delivering complex services. Kanban, Lean, Agile, Rightshifting, Continuous Delivery and Systems Thinking are just some of the topics for discussion.
\nMany of the practices we are expert in are traditionally associated with software development but we are here to help everyone adopt and adapt them to solve other workplace conundrums in our increasingly digitized, fast paced and shrinking world; how to collaborate, how to make sense of complex problems, how to deliver things quickly.
\nSo if you are in software delivery, service delivery, commerce, a start up, a community group, anything with a customer, come along to learn with us and share with us
\nWhen: 1st Thursday of each month, 6:30pm onwards. We're normally finished for 8:30/9pm unless otherwise stated.
\nCost : All meetings are free and registration is required as the capacity of the venue is often limited.
\nOur meetings are informal and friendly with plenty of opportunity for discussion and chat.

Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
The advent of the Digital Age has democratized innovation and entrepreneurship.
Never before has it been more possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big, and in the process, change the world in a relatively short period of time. HP, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many, many other iconic companies all started with just an idea.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the \"next big thing\".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, engineers, venture capitalists, angel investors, educators, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
Our mission is to provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge, guidance, tools, and connections they need to succeed. Our goal is to build a strong, vibrant, collaborative entrepreneurial community with deep, lasting business and social relationships from Silicon Valley to UK and beyond.

People just do data! Analytics is for everyone - everyone has a valuable opinion on what data can do for a business, for the community, for society. And we want to use this group to share ideas, approaches, concepts...success as well as failure.
\nThis group will be for anyone that gets a kick from getting deep and dirty in data! If you use web analytics tools, build forecast models, create beautiful data visualisations...if you use data to challenge yourself and others, we'd love you to be a part of this.
\nWe'd like to have bi-monthly sessions. We might invite speakers to discuss how they've used data to tell stories, their real-world experiences and challenges, or have guided workshop / hack sessions where we explore the potential of data tools.
\nBasically - we want people that are excited about data to share their passion with others!

An employee that is looking to jump into entrepreneurship\\, but would prefer to buy a business as opposed to starting one from scratch?\n2\\. Have a relative or friend who wants to sell you their business\\, but you do not have the capital to transact?\n3\\. Already own business but organic growth is too slow and painful and you want a faster growth trajectory by buying out your competitor?\n[Testimonials from previous attendees](https://www.perryanderson.global/events)\n**The host of this event:**\nPerry M. Anderson is a Private Equity investor and Oxford MBA, who founded a private equity firm in 2002. He lives between homes in London and Vancouver. Perry has taught this material to hundreds of people globally on how to buy and sell businesses for a living - without having to risk any of your own capital in order to transact. Recently he has published his book *\"Red to Black - The Art of Corporate Turnaround\".*\n**Perry Anderson:** \"I have completed over 30 investments in the past 19 years - all using my own capital. After 2 decades worth of experience in deal-making, I have come to realize that the capital to do deals does not have to come from your own pocket, as the alternative finance markets are awash with capital. I can show you how to access this!\"\n[More about Perry Anderson](https://www.perryanderson.global/about)\nSo, what would you learn?\n**How to source a business?** Without using Brokers or Intermediaries to have a constant flow of deals that fit your specific parameters and interests.\n**How to structure a 'win-win' offer?** Deals only work when both parties gain. Using creative deal structures, Perry will show you how to get to a win-win.\n**How to fund business for sale and close the deal?** Using private capital (from the alternative capital markets) and creative financing without the need to use any of your own personal capital.\n**How to buy a profitable business for $1?** Perry recently acquired a profitable chain of well established retail stores for $1. The business was turning over $1.7M in consistent revenue. Mindset and structuring was key to this transaction Perry will show you *exactly* how this was done step-by-step. This deal structure can easily be copied and replicated - and is a simple deal structure to get a deal over the line quickly. \n**How to conduct due diligence and closing?** Legals and accounting are an integral part of any transaction. Perry will show you how to get this done efficiently and how to have the company pay for these expenses...not you!\n**How to fix the company?** Whether a company is distressed or profitable, there will be areas of the business that need fixing. Perry has some really clever and proven tactics that you can implement immediately that will have a significant impact on the cash flow of the business. More urgently, when you cannot make payroll next week, what do you do? These are vital tactics for any down economic market. \n**How and when to use a Merger?** This is the fastest way to build and grow a company. Think going from zero to 10 million in 10 months...not in 10 years! Most entrepreneurs build businesses the wrong way....\n**How to quickly sell a company when there is a limited buyer pool?** Strategies on how and when to sell the business for 6 or 7 figure sums. Perry will share how he quickly sold a Media company he acquired (when there were very few buyers) and how Perry maximized his exit.\nAdditional real-world 'street-fighting' tactics that are ***NOT taught in any MBA program*** or global business schools. This is a highly transferrable skill set and after this workshop, you will have all the 'tools' to be able to go out and do this yourself.\n*You will also leave the workshop with Contracts, Templates and Documents from actual deals done.* \n*You can then use these to replicate on your own deals.* \n*You will also be given a detailed list of **Perry's private 'non-bank' funders** (UK, US and Canada) and their direct contact details.* The value of this is priceless! \nHave more questions? \n**Please contact Davide at:**\n*davide@perryanderson.global*\n\nPS: There is no sales pitch at this workshop and nothing is being sold to you - just pure knowledge exchange!", "city": "Manchester", "country": "gb", "state": "18", "zip": "M2 5AS", "created": 1548080911000, "lat": 53.48, "lon": -2.25, "members": 366, "banned": 0, "ratingTotal": 0, "ratingAverage": 0, "topic_ids": [ "23925", "17381", "35073", "19120", "14266", "16855", "16856", "17390", "70985", "70286", "30609", "724292", "16924", "108403", "16621" ], "category_id": "405", "organizer": { "id": "521187229", "name": "Christa T." } }, { "id": "15539282", "name": "Manchester AI", "link": "https://www.meetup.com/manchester-ai", "urlname": "manchester-ai", "description": "Manchester AI is a new & exciting in person event within the city centre.

We absolutely will not tolerate any harassment or discrimination of any kind.\n\n**What kind of events are we running?**\n\n🥳 There will be a variety of formats including lightening talks, panels, workshops and group discussions - lots of interesting and super engaging stuff!\n\n⚡️ There's a twist though, every event with lightening talks will have **at least 1 person** who has never done any public speaking before (find out more on how to put yourself forward at the bottom!). Our whole ethos is about creating opportunities so we're practicing what we preach.\n\n**When and where?**\n\nWe'll be running quarterly in-person events in our home in DiSH in Manchester. It's a lovely central location, it is entirely wheelchair accessible, and there's loads of breakout space so if you're feeling like you need a bit of quiet, we'll absolutely make sure you get it.\n\n🍕🍺 Of course there will be food and drinks at every event, there will probably be pizza sometimes, and there will always be beer 😉. But there will also always be a range of soft drinks, diet drinks, gin in a tin (my personal favourite), juice, gluten-free beer, alcohol-free beer. Oh also, our beer will be provided by Cloudwater Brewery. Not only are they a local Manc business, but their workforce is 55% female, and their production/brewing team are majority female 👏🏾\n\n**Our sponsor** \n\nBig shoutout to xDesign for sponsoring the TechRise MCR group and supporting the UK tech community 👏🏾\n\nxDesign is a UK-based digital development partner for ambitious businesses, working with some of the UK’s most recognisable brands like MoneySavingExpert, FanDuel and Tesco Bank.

\nWe want to open up the world of InfoSec, achieving greater diversity, representation and equality and helping to embed security across all roles in tech. Through our buddying system, we facilitate women, those who identify as a women and non binary, to buddy up to attend existing meet-ups, events and conferences, creating a safe and friendly space across the tech community.
\nAll our events and spaces have a code of conduct.
\n
InfoSec Hoppers Code of Conduct
Conduct in InfoSec Hoppers Spaces.
\nInfoSec Hoppers spaces include our meetings, events, workshops, slack group and Meetup page. These are inclusive places where all people should feel safe and respected.
\nWe welcome diversity in age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective.
\nWe want all our members to enjoy a safe and respectful environment.
\nWe will not tolerate any form of harassment, hate speech or trolling either off or online, or any overly intoxicated, intimidating, heckling or violent behaviour in our spaces. Harassment can be either verbal, written, behavioural or imagery and includes any racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, sexually inappropriate or religiously discriminatory language, behaviour or imagery. “Jokes”, “banter” and “freedom of speech” will not be accepted as justifications or excuse for such language, behaviour or imagery.
\nAlthough we cannot police the behaviour of members or contributors outside these spaces, we will do everything we can to help resolve any issues that may occur outside our spaces. If we are made aware of any incidents of racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, sexually inappropriate or religiously discriminatory language, behaviour or imagery, this may result in a ban from the group.
\nIf you have any issues or concerns relating to the code of conduct please contact one of the organisers either in person, though the Meetup page or via the email (infosechoppers@gmail.com) or the slack group.
\nHoppers organisers: Catherine Chapman, Saskia Coplans, Gem Hill, Annie Mbako.
\nIf you have an issues at an event, meeting or workshop please speak to one of the organisers.
\nMeetings and Workshops
\nInfoSec Hoppers meetings and workshops usually are not sponsored. Some events are dry, but alcohol may be consumed at some of the evening events. Events are open to under 18’s, however we do not accept responsibility for minors so meetings and workshops are not appropriate for under 16’s unless accompanied by an adult.
\nMeetings and talks are pitched at all technical levels, however workshops and CTFs will require some level of technical ability. All technical levels are welcome at the workshops and CTFs, we provide coaches for all abelites, but ask that members are respectful of their time.
\nWhen attending meetings and workshops please respect the presenters. Please don’t talk amongst yourselves during their presentations, have your phones either muted or switched off and be aware that this is a group activity.
\nWe are guests of the venues we use, so please don’t tamper with fixtures, hardware, software or infrastructure, or generally take thinks such a food and drink without permission.
\nAll InfoSec Hoppers spaces are privately run and we withhold the right to remove and ultimately ban anyone who violates this code of conduct.
\n\"Women's ambition is not a vertical ambition.\" - Kevin Roberts, Executive Chairman, Saatchi and Saatchi .
If, like me, you find this hard to believe, then this is the group for you. I've met so many bright, inspiring women working in the advertising industry here in Manchester, that I wanted to create a casual occasion for us to get together and hear from inspiring guest speakers, chat about work we love, work we don't, and most importantly, get to know each other over a drink or two!
So whether you're a suit or a creative, a student looking to break into the industry or an old hand, come along with an open mind, and ambition so vertical you could use it as a barge pole. Looking forward to meeting you!
Known mostly for mobile development, since being purchased by Microsoft in 2016 it has gone beyond just mobile to support MacOS, tvOS, Tizen and UWP, Linux and much more!
\nThis is a group for those who use, or are interested in the .Net cross-platform development tool Xamarin.
For those interested we also have a Slack Team for the group, we can be found at mcr-xug.slack.com
\n CODE OF CONDUCT
Our meetup is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, neurodiveristy, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of meetup participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any meetup venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Meetup participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the meetup.
\nOrganized and sponsored by the Moneysupermarket team in Manchester, this group will run bi-monthly events. These are tailored to welcome developers with or without experience in the stack. The format of each meetup may differ but you can expect the classic presentations, workshops, or Q&A sessions.
Suggestions on what we can do better or ideas for new topics are always welcomed!
\nIf you have something you've recently worked on and would like to share it with the wider community, this is your chance! Get in touch with the organizer for more details.
\nThanks and I hope you will all be joining us,
Emanuell & the Moneysupermarket team

\nWho should join Leanmanc?
\nOur group will be invaluable for founders, developers, designers, business analysts, product & project managers, marketers and more.
\nWhen and where is it?
\nLeanmanc gets together at AutoTrader on the first Wednesday of the month, every two months.
\nWhat is Lean Startup?
\nLean Startup is a method of developing businesses and products. It takes a scientific approach, focusing on determining the what the biggest risks are, identifying assumptions being made and validating learning to ensure that the right product is being built.
\nWhere can Lean Startup be applied?
\nLean Startup is usually associated with tech startups, but the methodologies can be applied to businesses and organisations of any size. Whether you are just starting out with a new idea or working in a large enterprise, we hope you will find value from our group.
\nWhy should you get involved?
\nYou will learn how to apply the methodologies at your organisation and discover how you can dramatically derisk projects and products, and build solutions that people really need. Along the way you’ll meet some amazing people, take part in workshops and hear from some influential speakers.
\nWho is behind Leanmanc?
\nLeanmanc is brought to you by:
\n• Ben Aldred - cofounder of Manchester based LeanConf, Europe’s largest Lean Startup conference.
\nJames Lewis - Head of Product at Manchester based startup, DigitalBridge.
\n* The Lean Startup is a trademark and service mark owned by Eric Ries. *

Do you enjoy reading insightful and thought-provoking business books? Would you like to review and discuss them in a friendly, informal atmosphere? If so, join The Manchester Business Book Club - it's free.
Our aims are simple: identifying, reading and discussing the best business books available today.
\nWe are interested in great ideas about business organisations, large and small, how they function and why they succeed or fail.
\nThe Book Club should not be viewed as a place for selling or self-promotion, nor is it focused on individual careers. It's about businesses, how we can understand them better and improve their performance (or at least avoid some of the pitfalls).
\nWe aim to meet once every 6 weeks, just enough time to source and read the next book. Venues will be in central Manchester and meetings scheduled for an early evening start (free refreshments will be available from 6pm, courtesy of our sponsors). Each event lasts approximately 60-80 minutes.
\n
BOOK SELECTION
\nThe books are selected by the Meetup Organiser in collaboration with Club members and other stakeholders, including the Central Library. The selection criteria for books will be as follows:
\n• General interest business topics (e.g. financial planning would be too specialised)
\n• Professionally published (i.e. excludes self-publishing)
\n• Contemporary (editions up to 5 years old)
\n• Receiving broadly good reviews and/or winning accolades
• Diverse author perspectives (i.e. a mix of ages, genders, cultures, nationalities and business sectors)
• Not too expensive
• Not too many pages
\n• Plenty of copies available (both new and used).
Manchester Central Library have promised to order multiple copies of our chosen books for lending to Club members. You can join the library here.
\nIf you would like to propose a reading book for the Club (meeting the criteria above) please contact the Organiser. You may also give a 5-minute presentation on any favourite business book. Of course, selling is not permitted, either directly or indirectly.
Please note that self-help books about climbing the career ladder and achieving riches 'beyond your wildest dreams' do not feature on the MBBC book list. If you are interested in these aspects of personal development, there are plenty of other self-help groups and clubs in your local area.
\n
READING & THINKING
\nWhen we discuss each book, consider the following:
\n• Resonance: How does the content of the book compare with your own work experiences?
• Value: Will the book influence your future actions? If so, how?
\n• Quality: Overall, how effective was the book's structure and writing style?
THE CLUB ETHOS
\nThe Book Club is intended to be a friendly place for developing workplace skills and hearing alternative perspectives on the many challenges faced by businesses today.
\nTogether we can raise the profile of business thought leadership in Manchester.

Together.
\nWhy join B.U.I.L.D?
\nIf you are looking to participate in events like workshops, trainings, lectures, seminars, hackathons aiming to transform you and your business for success and you consider yourself a business B.U.I.L.D:er, it would be foolish of you not to join this group.
\nA business B.U.I.L.D:er is:
\n· anyone who wants to build a successful business;
\n· somebody who has an entrepreneurial mindset = often drawn to opportunities, innovation, new value creation and willing to take risks
\n· an employee curious about starting a business or wanting to apply entrepreneurial thinking at his/her workplace.
\n· a smart manager or business owner looking for innovation ideas,
\n· an edgy consultant, freelancer or solopreneur
\n· a student or researcher with an entrepreneurship interest
\nDo you see value and opportunities in networking and want business dreams to come true in mutually beneficial ways? Invest in yourself and a more entrepreneurial world today and come along!
\nWhat is a B.U.I.L.D event?
\nB.U.I.L.D events can be about sales, marketing, branding, customer engagement, self development, finance, law, growth hacking and any other topic which in one way or another can help businesses become more awesome.
\nBecome an event organizer
\n• You can attend events and benefit from networking with likeminded. However, your benefits can be massive if you organize these events yourself. Events and Meetup groups are a great way to get:
\n• connections
\n• promote your services and expertise
\n• goodwill
\n• test ideas
\n• feedback
\n• referrals
\n• introductions
\nBeing part of a bigger organization and group opens more doors than going about it alone. B.U.I.L.D exists in 11 cities in Europe.
\nRunning a successful Meetup-group also requires, much like a business, grit and a lot of time, dedication and effort. What if you could go in lean and test your session by organizing only one event?
\nWe at B.U.I.L.D give you a chance to organize just one event (or more in the future) under the B.U.I.L.D. brand with its existing members instead of starting your own Meetup group from scratch.
\n\nHow to apply
\nIf you would like to promote your service by sharing your knowledge and expertise with other professionals and entrepreneurs with a workshop or get-together; apply to get your event published and promoted by contacting EntAnon's Community Manager Jenny via e-mail on jenny.bjorklof@entanon.com. You get support on how to organize great B.U.I.L.D events by experienced business event organizers.
\nPlease note: Free events = free support, paid events = agreed profit share on a case to case basis.
\nThe history of B.U.I.L.D
\nB.U.I.L.D is a brand by EntAnon (short for Entrepreneurs Anonymous). In 2015 more than 30 thought provoking events were organized by EntAnon and B.U.I.L.D (that is at least one event every second week) engaging thousands of members.
\nThe name Entrepreneurs Anonymous could stand for being addicted to Entrepreneurship and having an urgent need to get group support for it. But actually Entrepreneurs Anonymous is more about providing a safe place with like-minded people where entrepreneurship can be explored. Here Entrepreneurs-to-be and undercover entrepreneurs from corporates have been spotted too.
\nEntrepreneurs Anonymous events started in Dublin, Ireland in 2011 as accountability group by former students of an entrepreneurship course. The interest for the group grew and now social events with guest speakers are organized every last Tuesday of the month. With a membership increase by 10% each month it was quickly realized last Tuesday-events were simply just not enough for the Anonymous Entrepreneurs.
\nB.U.I.L.D was set up to offer more opportunities for Entrepreneurs to learn from each other. So far B.U.I.L.D events like the Gigonomy Panel discussion, Speed Business Networking and the Free Business Clinic have been organized. B.U.I.L.D also organizes former DDM events. These are events for people especially interested in Data Driven Marketing.
\nMore about B.U.I.L.D and DDM Alliance
\nEntAnon's brand B.U.I.L.D partnered with the former Data Driven Marketing Alliance (DDM). Future DDM meetups and other events in Copenhagen, Berlin, Belgium, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Helsinki, London, Manchester, Netherlands, Paris, Stockholm, soon Milano and other parts of Europe will be organized together with B.U.I.L.D. DDM representatives can set up online events (webinars and conferences) and use the B.U.I.L.D. groups around Europe as a channel. If another B.U.I.L.D or EntAnon event is set on the same date the organizers agree on the next best date for the DDM Alliance event to take place.

The circle is hosted by Kathy Bradley & Howard Cain from Asana North West in partnership with the Entrepreneurs Institute and aims to create a truly supportive community.
This group is for people interested in the practical application of linked data, semantic web technologies, knowledge engineering and ontology development.
\nWe're aiming to create a technical ‘hub’ to support the sharing of ideas, issues and more general networking opportunities in this area - hopefully helping to join academic researchers with architects, strategists with developers, experienced enthusiasts with newbies...
\nWe wont be limiting to any particular sector but initial members of the group have an interest in the application of linked data across the following broad domains:
\n• Health care (primary, secondary ..)
\n• Public health, Social care
\n• Pharmaceuticals and health technologies
\n• Local government
\n• Legislation
\n• Education
\n• Public sector / government
\n• Digital publishing, Media and Technical Authoring

A BIG Hello 👋 to everyone out there! Welcome to MP North by Manhattan Partners.
\nJoin our group to keep up to date on events, from Dev to Testing to Diversity & Inclusion
\nWe're an agency and consultancy based in the heart of Manchester on a mission to be on the forefront of changing the way people recruit. The founders, Julie Mombielova and John Gaskell joined forces to change the landscape of how recruitment currently operates. Many recruitment agencies still claim to be experts in their fields when they are not, therefore, under-delivering, demanding high rates and frustrating those who need a true transparent service.
\nSo how do we differ, and why? One of our biggest USP's are our Partners, who are embedded experts at Manhattan Partners working alongside our specialist recruitment consultants. Our experts are involved from an end to end recruitment cycle, which has enabled us to be the first agency to disrupt the recruitment market like never before!

An inclusive group for anyone working in eCommerce.
\nThis group has been set up with it's members in mind. We want to provide a place for everyone in the eCommerce community to get together and share knowledge.
\nThink eCommerce strategy, customer case studies, eCommerce platforms, marketing, and much more.
\n
The group joins Enterprise Architects, Software Architects, Solution Architects, Systems Architects, Security Architects, Technical Architects and all the people who want to get to know something new about all sorts of technical architecture.
\nFrom monoliths to microservices, from design patterns to enterprise integration patterns - anyone interested in architecture is welcome.
In addition we would like to grow the personal knowledge exchange and networking between people working on solution architecture. It is about learning from each other and recognizing new solutions through new insights. This group is also for all software engineers and managers, who would like to learn more on solution architecture and design.

\nZiferblat is very centrally located, right in the heart of the Northern Quarter so would be the perfect place to break out after the freelancing event to enjoy a beverage – this is the reason I have chosen the date of the event to take place on a Friday.
\nThe event itself would mean everyone gets support and advice from other people who freelance and can socialize with people from different background and working sectors.
\nI could also negotiate more perks with Ziferblat to ensure repeat attendance for the event – things like 20% discount for the event rooms if they wish to use. Also providing free printing too which can be a hassle in the city.
\nI want the event to be super relaxed for everyone in attendance so they can come in and just enjoy the space and the people around them.

The group has been founded to create a vibrant community of passionate females interested in meeting with motivated and exciting young professionals and expanding their network.
You will be able to network with successful local founders to share personal stories and lessons learned on the road to building our great companies.
You will be able to connect with outstanding female entrepreneurs, tap into a strong support network, form meaningful connections and gain inspiration from other like-minded females.
We aim to build a connected network of vibrant females to help fuel innovation, economic growth and prosperity at the local level.
The goals of this group are below:
1. Enable us, females, to learn about different industry focusses, share tips and advice for career development. So it is not simply acquiring business cards and adding names to your “LinkedIn” account – it is taking the time to get to know people in the areas in which you are interested or want to learn more about and staying in touch with them.
2. Initiate creating a series of events focused on professional development through speaker series, hands-on skill development workshops, and mentorship opportunities to help overcome the specific challenges faced by women.
3. Create a platform to practice soft skills in a casual and friendly setting. Most of us know our weaknesses, whether we need to be more organised or do a better job of meeting deadlines or simply prioritising in a more innovative way. Putting effort into improving those skills will make the attendees more marketable no matter what field they are in or would like to pursue.
We believe in making friends, not contacts. We believe in giving, not taking. We believe in helping others before helping ourselves.

\nThe Creative Industries Networking Group (CING) was formed in 2008 with a mission to support and facilitate the success of its creative industries members. We do this by engaging and representing the sector; providing development, training and promotion; and by securing commercial opportunities.
\nThe core of CING is its monthly networking events, held on the first Monday of every month. This is a chance to meet peers from across the sector, and to listen to inspirational speakers from the creative and business communities, as well as to find out about complementary support and development services that are available.
\nIn addition, CING hosts business skills workshops, designed specifically for creative sector freelancers and business owners looking for advice and tools to address specific issues.
\nWorking with our partners, CING also host events aimed at showcasing and promoting the talent within the creative sector and seeks to secure commercial contracts for members to ensure their long term success.
\nThe majority of our members are therefore those working in creative fields such as design, photography, film, animation, music, fashion, art, crafts, digital, advertising, marketing, architecture, and television.
\nOur network also comprises a range of support organisations, business development, professional services, and academics, who have an interest in supporting and developing the creative industries.
\nWe also welcome students, graduates, those thinking about setting up their own creative business, and also anyone who is looking to commission or employ creative practitioners.
\nBecoming a member is completely free and can be done via www.c-i-n-g.org, where you can see a list of our upcoming events and browse our members profiles and comments.

\nWhether you are a leader in data technologies, engineering, sciences, analytics, business intelligence, insight, management, governance or quality we would like to hear about your experiences, successes and failures.
\nEach 90 minute session will host three people, each of whom will provide 10 minutes of insight into their organisations. The remainder of the session will be an open discussion, questions, answers and debate.
\nWe’d like you to share what you are doing, what problems you are facing and how you are over coming them.
\nThis is a network for peers to problem solve and harness the knowledge needed to set themselves and their companies up for success.
\nA promise from the organiser: no data management consultancies will be allowed to present, this isn’t a place for pitching for work. That doesn’t mean they can’t come along and join the discussion.

Keeping the peace:
1. No shows 🔴 A red circle will be added to the profile of those who do not turn up to events. After 3 no shows, the member will be banned from the group for 6 months. Please give as much notice as you can if you can no longer attend a Meetup

\nThe aim of the group is to network with others interested in MySQL in the Manchester area, and to exchange information, ideas, and knowledge of MySQL and related technologies.
\nThe planned format is to have a presentation or talk of some kind (questions welcome) and then an opportunity to meet and talk over some light refreshments and snacks. All levels of experience catered for. If you are an intermediate to advanced user and would like to present or propose a topic, then get in touch. Meetups are a great introduction to public speaking in a friendly environment, ideal for those that might be tempted to make submissions to technical conferences.
\nHeld at the offices of Rentalcars.com, the space is kindly donated by BookingGo, the event is free of charge.
\nNot sure of your interest in MySQL? If you look at websites you have almost certainly used it! If you are a Wordpress, Joomla! or Drupal developer then you have DEFINITELY used it. Come and find out what it's all about.
