Northern Tech Clan fundraiser - Castanets Live
Advertisement
We realised we don’t see enough of our friends from the amazing places we’ve worked over the decades (I know!) - it’s already been a year since the last event like this 😮
So, we asked the brilliant Opencast house band, The Castanets, to come and play for us again and bring some banging tunes at our Newcastle venue, Pilgrim, and get the various SSS, Opencast, Sage, PPA, Nissan, BA, QSP, EDS, Capgemini, Accenture, IBM, Croft … (many more too) bands back together for a good bit of singing, dancing, laughing and drinking.
Please share across your North East and beyond techie networks.
Money we raise on tickets goes to the MacMillan charity so we hope you can come and join us at 7.30pm on Thursday 5th November. (PPA friends - it’s a Thursday “Binge” 😂)
There won’t be a technical coding test to check if people are eligible to attend and none of the evening will feature any AI in any shape or form. Plenty of real intelligence will be in the room.
