Come meet others from the UK who are interested in, using or learning more about CiviCRM. This one day conference will be of interest to:
- Those who are thinking about using CiviCRM within their organisation and want to find out more;
- New and existing users of CiviCRM who want to understand their CiviCRM more and hear about the latest developments.
If you have questions, there will be a number of UK and International CiviCRM experts in attendance who can help. You will also be able to talk to staff from other organisations who already use CiviCRM, and make connections that will help you in the future.
CIVICRM EVENTS
CiviCRM events bring together a community of end users, administrators and developers of CiviCRM for content-rich discussions, lectures, networking and training.
Oct 6-12, 2018
We will have a CiviCRM sprint from 6th to 12th October 2018 in Bamford, Derbyshire. The idea is to have as many community members present as possible so we can make good progress on writing code, improving the books and having a good time! Food and drinks are provided. We do expect you to pay for your own travel expenses. If this a problem for you please contact us.
Sprints are friendly and welcoming events that provide an opportunity for you to get to know the rest of the CiviCRM community and contribute back to the project at the same time. They are ideal for working on your pet project, learning about the latest developments in CiviCRM and building up your CiviCRM network.
