Oxford Geek Nights

Oxford Geek Nights offer a chance for web developers and designers in the local area to get together, share their skills and talk about new ideas, techniques and technologies.

The first event consisted of two keynote talks of 15 minutes each, followed after a healthy period of socialising with a set of 5 minute long open microslot sessions.
