[View Event] Silicon Drinkabout Belfast: Startup Community drinks - Jan 9th
"It's a casual evening of drinks and meeting other like minded Startups and tech people. The format is simple; grab a drink, and get to know others in our growing Belfast Startup community! Most of us don't know each other before we arrive so if you're thinking of joining alone or with others, you will feel welcome! Our members are a friendly bunch and a mix of developers, startup founders, students and investors.
About Silicon Drinkabout: Silicon Drinkabout is a global community of startups powered by local events. Each city is run by passionate volunteers, fuelled by their love of bringing people together to create meaningful, face to face relationships that go beyond just a professional network. Everyone is welcome!"
