What to expect

Rubber Duck Brum is a community meetup hosted by Good Growth. It blends bite-sized talks with practical, informal “station” sessions where you can get advice on real problems, polish a portfolio, or just talk shop.

Whether you’re early in your career, switching paths, or a seasoned engineer looking to meet the local community, you’re welcome. And of course, we'll have snacks and light refreshments for you.
