GeekUp Leeds is 1! CakeUp - tomorrow, 18th June, 6pm
GeekUp Leeds celebrates it’s 1st birthday tomorrow and you’re all invited along to help celebrate! There’s been much talk of cake-baking (which we seem to be calling “CakeUp”), so if you fancy joining in the fun, please bring the geekiest cake you can bake with you!
We also have two 20:20 talks lined up for you:
- Colin May on “Scaling your site - things to consider now and in the future that’ll make your life a lot easier when your site takes off”

There’s just about time for another ad-hoc 20:20 if anyone feels the need!
