There are always plenty of networking events, talks or meetups in Bristol. Below is a list of the January events that we find most interesting.
When The Elastic Snaps: How To Stretch Mobile Apps To Fit Tablets – SWUX
Tuesday 7th January 2014 – 7pm
SWUX is the group to watch for Bristol UX events. Organised by Indu Kalla, this event features talks by Craig Pugsley, main designer at Nokia & Jonathan Davies, Senior Visual Designer at Nokia.
South West Founders Meetup – SWF
Wednesday 8th January 2014 – 7pm
South West Founders is a monthly meet-up for people based in the South-West who have been, are, or want to be tech start-up founders. They welcome entrepreneurs and tech investors with open arms, but discourage freelancers, consultants, lawyers and other service providers unless they have a genuine interest in founding or mentoring start-up businesses.
So not a talk event, but a friendly and not-pushy networking event.
CoffeeScript: the “Good Parts” re-brewed? / How to write a game in 30 minutes – BRISTECH

Bristech makes it again with what looks like a fantastic talk line up. I can’t wait for this one!

Can you think of more events?
If you think you some events should be added to the January list, don’t hesitate to contact me. We will also try to keep this list as a monthly recap, so if you have an event that you think should appear in this list, again, give me a shout.
