Only six weeks to go now until SoCraTes UK 2026!
We’re very excited, and we’re now on a final push to sell as many tickets as possible. We’re a community not-for-profit event, and every sale makes a huge difference to us. So we really appreciate every individual who joins us, as well as anything people can do to help publicise the event.
Here are some details:
The event runs on Thurs 18th June (training day), and from Fri 19th to Sun 21st June (open space event), in a gorgeous countryside location at Milton Hill House in Oxfordshire.
Tickets are fully inclusive, including a hotel room and three meals a day (and snacks!) and full access to the event itself. The venue has amazing grounds to relax and wander in and boast a gym, sauna, steam room, indoor pool and tennis court if you fancy.
The open space event is an opportunity for you to engage in discussion, hands on activities, games, and whatever else you fancy - because the content is entirely curated and generated by you and your SoCraTes friends.
The theme is software crafting, and we'll also branch off to wherever our will and imagination takes us.
We’re very proud of this year’s training day, with content from world-renowned trainers:
* @emilybache - Controlling Legacy Code with Approval Tests
* @lisihocke - Secure development lifecycle
* Gemma Cameron - Bringing User Stories to Life (@ruby_gem)
* @claresudbery - Using TDD to get Better Results from LLMs/AI
* Jon Jagger - TDD with Cyber-dojo
* Duncan McGregor & @natpryce - I Suppose This is My Life Now - Mercilessly Refactoring AI Code
* Tim Ottinger - Value Stream Mapping (@tottinge)
It'd be fab to see you there.
