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.
Each OGN consists of two keynote talks of 15 minutes each. There are also frenetic bursts of socialising, sometimes adverts for other local groups, but always interspersed with two sets of 5-minute-long microslot sessions.
Keynotes
Keynote speakers are invited to talk at Oxford Geek Nights. So far our confirmed keynotes for OGN24 are:
- It's crazy, but it just might work! Building Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, by John Graham-Cumming, VP of Engineering at Causata Ltd, campaigner for Alan Turing and author of The Geek Atlas.
- How not to build a time machine, by Chris Wild, CEO at Retronaut.
Microslots
Microslots are five-minute "lightning talks" that anyone can volunteer for. They consist of around five to ten slides and the audience is generally friendly and interested! Here are the confirmed microslots for OGN23:
- Hacker/doctor collaboration to improve healthcare, by Carl Reynolds
- Why can't a Luddite be more like a geek? by Kate Griffin
- Teaching the Web - Universities are a bit rubbish, by Adam Onishi
- Social media and the pop-up sausage, by Chris Thorpe and Max Mason
