Developer meetup - Manchester, 23rd January

Yes, it's that time of year again where tradition dictates that people reflect on the year gone by and brace themselves for the year ahead, and what better way to kick start your year than an evening of talks, food, drink and of course plenty of time to mingle with other members of our fantastic Optimizely community. Our first Optimizely developer meetup of 2025 is just 2 weeks away on the evening of Thursday the 23rd of January and we can't wait to welcome you. We've got a fantastic schedule of talks lined up from some great speakers all in the luxurious surroundings of Manchester's Everyman cinema.

We're just putting the finishing touches to the running order but the lineup includes OMVP (and UK dev meetup legend) Mark Everard of First Three Things talking about how you can get the most out of the new Visual Builder, and the ever entertaining and informative Simon Chapman of Optimizely giving an update on all that's new and upcoming in the world of Optimizely.

⚠️UPDATE⚠️

We have now finalised the running order and I'm pleased to say we've got 4 fantastic talks lined up:

  • Mark Everard (First Three Things) - Making the Most of Visual Builder
  • Anil Patel (Knight Frank) - Azure Business Communication Services integration with Optimizely Forms
  • Andy Blyth (26) - The fragment conundrum - Overcoming Fragment Limits in GraphQL
  • Simon Chapman (Optimizely) - Optimizely Roadmap Update

As always, tickets are free (though spaces are limited so please register) and we'll be laying on food and drinks during the evening.

Doors open from 17:15 and talks begin at 18:00. All the talks should be wrapped up by 20:30 but please do stick around afterwards in the bar area for a drink and a chat.

This promises to be a fantastic event so register now to guarantee your place via the form on the Optimizely events page (select "Manchester UK - Jan 23"):
