A couple of weeks ago, we had our last meetup of 2024. It was a blast! Auto Trader UK were our hosts and sponsors. They couldn’t have been better hosts - incredible hospitality. We had two insightful talks from Matt Houghton and Adedeji Awolesi which inspired lots of discussion during and after the talks. The videos of each talk are below: Matt - https://lnkd.in/eV_Sv8VX Adedeji - https://lnkd.in/e3EVqkxX Thanks everyone who has been part of our community this year - next year should bring new collaborations and opportunities to network.
