What are you looking forward to this year? SoCraTes software crafting unconferences / open spaces happen across the world, in beautiful surroundings and with lovely people. So if you’re making plans for 2026, now’s the time to give yourself something to get excited about...
...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.
We organise in the open, and you're very welcome to chat with the organisers to help, ask questions, give feedback, or simply to watch. You can reach us on the #ev_socratesuk slack channel (https://slack.softwarecrafters.org/), or on mastodon, LinkedIn, BlueSky, or by emailing organisers at socratesuk dot org.
