Event: TechHubFriday

Fri 8th October

We'll now be running TechHubFriday every week, yay! Once a month will be demo night, once a month will be film night or games, once a month will just be casual drinks, and we have great plans for the others as well. Join us for a beer and some snacks, and chat to other entrepreneurs.

So kick off the weekend early, meet some other tech folks and finish your week in style @TechHub. So you can register now if you'd like or just pop this one in your diary and keep an eye on the registration page for more details of what we'll be doing.

Event: Apps for Good
Mon 11th October

TechHub is delighted to support an evening for Apps for Good, a new programme from global social enterprise network CDI. Apps for Good is a course where young people learn to create apps that change their world. Following the successful pilot programme, and with instruction and mentoring from graduates of the first course, the new groups have been working in teams to identify and reflect on the issues that affect their lives and their communities.

On 11th Oct, join the Apps for Good community of developers, designers, community activists and thinkers to an evening where the two teams will present their initial ideas and welcome your feedback and encouragement during a Q&A and networking session afterwards.

We'd still like to hear from you on event styles and subjects you like, those you don't, and any ideas you have or speakers you'd really love to hear from, please tell us!

Pearson & Stephen Fry's myFry app
I'm sure it can't have escaped your notice that our lovely sponsors Pearson recently launched TechHub Founder Member Stephen Fry's new book The Fry Chronicles. What you may not realise is that it instantly hit number one in five formats, including an innovative new app called "myFry" for iPhone and iPad that allows readers to delve in and out of the book by topic. Have you tried it? Tweet your feedback to Juan at Pearson via @jlopezvalcarcel and @TechHub

Change in TechHub opening hours
We're changing our opening hours starting from Monday 4th October to 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
