-

The growth of the low/no-code space has enabled all kinds of entrepreneurs and hobbyists to bring their ideas to life, making it easier than ever to build digital products.

Over the last two years, the digital maker movement has really found it's legs, with tools becoming more agile and impactful than ever before – with a whole range of novel ideas and projects being shipped globally.

As part of Leeds Digital Festival we’ll be sharing stories from local makers who are upskilling and using visual development to build in their own unique way.

Free of traditional boundaries and rule books they have been broadcasting and uploading their creations from the comfort of their own home.

The short talks will take place at in the Conservatory at Duke Studios on Wednesday the 22nd of September, between 6-8pm. We'll be there to guide you to the space on arrival, if not feel free to ask a member of staff :)

Want to launch a new digital project but intimidated by the idea of learning to code? Join us for a night of tales, tips and takeaways.

P.S this is a limited capacity event, so please make sure to grab a ticket early to avoid disappointment!
