Ipswich Tech Drinks – Monthly Meet-up at The Dove Street Inn
Once a month we gather at the https://dovestreetinn.co.uk/ for an open, informal tech meet-up. If you enjoy anything to do with technology talking about it, learning about it, experimenting with it, or just being around others who share that interest you’ll fit right in.
Ipswich Tech Drinks is part of the wider Innovate Suffolk community. Our aim is to bring together innovators, makers, and anyone curious about the role technology plays in our lives and work. There are no barriers to joining in: whether you’re a seasoned developer, a start-up founder, a student, or simply tech-curious, you’re welcome.
It’s a relaxed space to share ideas, meet new people, and celebrate the growing tech community here in Ipswich — while keeping our doors open to anyone beyond Suffolk who wants to join.
Where to find us:
We're based at The Dove Street Inn, in Ipswich, Suffolk. In the winter months, we usually meet indoors but during the summer, we sometimes move outdoors or into other parts of the pub. If you’re not sure, just look out for a friendly group of would-be developers (and we’ll keep an eye out for you too!).
