Upcoming Events

In person Manchester

Software Crafters Manchester: Coding Dojo

For our final meetup of 2025, we'll be hosting a coding dojo!

After a short intro, we’ll get into groups/pairs or work solo, whatever people feel most comfortable with, and start building.

You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.

Once again, we'll be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow SCN coders. There's no need to have attended a previous session so, if you're free, come along.

Pizza and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available. All you need to do is bring a machine if you’d like to code along.

Call 07530189585 if you are struggling to get in.

London CTOs Unconference - 2025 and 2026

Join Codurance and Recworks for the London CTOs Unconference — a candid, collaborative evening for senior tech leaders reflecting on the year that’s been and the one ahead.

The theme, “2025, 2026”, invites us to pause and take stock:

  • What did 2025 teach us about leading through change, hype, and shifting priorities?
  • What lessons, practices, and pitfalls will shape how we build, scale, and lead in 2026?
This unconference is for CTOs and senior engineering leaders ready to compare notes on what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what’s next for modern tech leadership.

In person Leeds

Business of Yorkshire Conference

Codurance is delighted to be attending and speaking at the prestigious Business of Yorkshire Conference, hosted by TheBusinessDesk.com.

The conference will bring together business leaders who are driving major investments, navigating transformation, and delivering real growth through innovation. These aren’t academic discussions — they’re real stories from companies that have faced the same challenges you’re tackling today.

During the event, Simon Shaw, Regional Director for UK North at Codurance, will join an expert panel exploring innovation across Yorkshire’s most successful businesses. The discussion will share practical examples of innovation and growth, offering actionable insights for attendees to apply within their own organisations. It will also look at the wider ecosystem and the support available for entrepreneurs and business leaders seeking to fund their next stage of growth.
