Tech Events in Liverpool

The new home for building a stronger Liverpool Tech community through real lessons in Product, Engineering, and Design.

Liverpool's tech scene is full of brilliant people doing brilliant things.

Build Better Liverpool exists to bring them together.

What this is

This is a community event for Tech professionals across Liverpool and the wider North West, built around one simple belief: when our disciplines actually talk to each other, we build better.

But this isn't just a one-off event, this is the start of a community that supports each other, raises the bar and helps change the face of tech across the North West.

Who is this for?

Anyone working in or around digital product delivery! Whether you're an Engineer, Product Manager, Designer, Delivery Lead, or just someone who cares about building things well.

What to expect:

🎤 Talks from Engineering, Product and Design leaders

🗣️ Panel discussion with audience Q&A

🤝 Genuine networking with people who get it

🌍 A community that doesn't stop when the event does

Space is limited. If you've been waiting for a reason to get involved in Liverpool's tech community - this is it!

For our June meet-up, we will be welcoming Rik Hepworth, who will be delivering a talk on Azure Virtual Networks for developers

Cloud was supposed to save us, but those dastardly networks followed us there! So many projects in the cloud now demand that we keep our traffic within the corporate network. But what does that mean for our applications, and how much do we need to understand as developers? Can’t we just leave it to the networking team?

Let’s run through the fundamentals: stuff like DNS and address spaces, that are easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention. Let’s examine what’s meant by ‘hub and spoke’ or ‘split horizon DNS’. This isn’t a session for network professionals who already build and operate corporate systems at scale; this is a session for the developers who need to make sure their applications are going to work, who may not have spent years configuring switches and managing infrastructure, and who just need to know enough to get the job done and avoid the potholes on the journey.

Food
