An affordable, web-industry focused mini-conference raising money for charities.
Bytes is a web-industry focused mini-conference to be held at Lighthouse, a hub for creative industries in the centre of Brighton, on Thursday 29th October 2015.
If you are just starting out, or an industry professional this affordable mini-conf will help you gain insight from our highly experienced key note speakers, with topics ranging from development and design to workflows and performance tips.
Every penny raised will be divided between our two charities - abandofbrothers and drop4drop. By attending this mini-conf you are helping these great causes.
There will also be a chance for you to win some excellent swag - make sure you bring some extra pennies to be in with a chance of walking away with some prizes.
abandofbrothers is a charity established by men committed to positive social change through personal development and community building.
The organisation was born out of concern at the continuing escalation of self-destructive and anti-social behaviour among young men from every section of society, together with the realisation that any meaningful and sustainable solution entails the reclamation of shared local responsibility.
Established in 2006, drop4drop is an independent charity on a mission to help alleviate the global water crisis, by working with both individuals and businesses to deliver clean water projects to developing communities around the world.
Drop4drop have already provided an estimated 160,000 people with clean drinking water through projects funded by vital donations from Life water and other partners, and are excited to have many more lined up for the future.
