This page is about GeekNights held in Manchester, organised by ThoughtWorks. We hope to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of ideas, technologies and techniques in the field of software development. These events are open to the public, but the venue does require a list of names in advance, so please register for each event you’d like to come to.

• If you’d like to here about future events, please subscribe to our mailing list.

• ThoughtWorks also runs GeekNights in our London office.

The 2012 programme is starting to take shape; I’ve posted up the dates where the speakers have confirmed, and I have a few more offers in the pipelines - thanks to people who have offered to speak, both from Thoughtworks and elsewhere.

• Thanks to everyone who came to the Scala in practice geek night with Pat and Marc; here are the slides.

Slides and code for Jan’s Scala kickstart talk from before Christmas are available from the Cake solutions team blog.

• It’s basically the big office tower on the South side of Piccadilly Gardens (next to the tram stop and bus station). The entrance is directly opposite the bus station, which is an atrium which goes all the way through the block; once you’re inside, reception is on your right (if your coming from the bus station end).

As long as you have registered reception should be able to direct you to the lifts and then up to the 18th floor.
