We know that there is a great community in Aberdeen of tech, digital, creative and associated folks who help each other out, spark ideas and create great connections. And we don’t want that to stop just because we can’t leave our front rooms.

Come and join Graeme Gordon, Mark Griffiths and Graeme Humphrey at 6pm on Thurs 2nd April, pour yourself a cold one (or a hot one), sit back, chill out and have a chat. Be virtually social. Keep in touch and make sure the great support that you all give out in real life is still there online.

Stay physically distant but social – log in and listen and contribute as you wish.
