Have you heard of the SoCraTes events? These are software crafting open space events that happen across the world, in beautiful surroundings and with lovely people. They are my absolute favourite software events, and that’s speaking as someone who attends 10-20 events each year! So if you’re making plans for 2026 yet, now’s the time to brighten up your February and give yourself something to look forward to...

...because tickets are on sale for SoCraTes UK 2026! https://socratesuk.org/tickets.html

Tickets are first-come, first-served, so book yours before we sell out!

Can you help? We’re a not-for-profit community open space event (and we’re very cute - just sayin’) so we need all the help we can get with ticket sales and sponsorship. Share this post with your networks, and ask your employer / contacts about sponsorship or buying tickets as brilliant training opportunities for employees.
