​Shipped - London's FDE Meetup

​shipped is London's Forward Deployed Engineers Meetup, hosted monthly, we'll be hearing from leaders across the FDE space.

​Over the past 6 months, the FDE job title has taken off and there wasn't a forum to network and learn for:
- practitioners in the role
- individuals scaling teams
- those who are just wanting to understand more about what it is to be an FDE.
That is what shipped is.

​shipped is organised by Sam Keene (Xcede) & Sam Freeman (Founding FDE Manager @ Cinder)
