Our Events

Codurance is delighted to be sponsoring and taking part in Maxwell Bond's upcoming Trusted Tech Talk. 

As businesses expand globally, software development teams are increasingly working across different time zones, cultures, and regulatory environments. But how can you scale your development efforts internationally while maintaining quality, efficiency, and collaboration?

Join Maxwell Bond for their next Trusted Tech Talk, where expert speakers from Codurance, NCC Group & Disney will share their insights on managing software development at a global scale. From offshoring strategies to leading diverse teams and navigating cultural challenges, this event will provide valuable takeaways for tech leaders, engineers, and decision-makers.

What You’ll Learn:

• Maximising value and mitigating risk in offshoring – Steve Lydford, COO at Codurance
• Uniting code and culture: Leading diverse software teams – Rebecca Fox, CIO at NCC Group
• Insights from one of the world's largest streaming platforms – Rob MacDonald, Engineering Manager at Disney

• Hear from industry experts with hands-on experience in global software development
• Network with like-minded tech professionals and industry leaders
• Gain actionable insights to apply to your own teams and projects

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.

Join us for our March meetup at Codurance’s London HQ, where we’ll be hosting a special talk from Carl Farmer of Microsoft! Carl will be sharing insights into AI-powered development and the tools and techniques that can enhance your workflow, with a special focus on GitHub Copilot.

Description
This will be an evening of learning, hands-on demonstrations, and open discussion. Carl will walk us through the latest advancements in AI software development, showcasing practical examples and exploring how we can apply these tools to our own projects. Plus, there’ll be plenty of time for Q&A—so bring your questions!

What’s the format?
The evening will kick off with a presentation from Carl, where he’ll discuss AI tooling and how it’s shaping modern development.

Next, he’ll demonstrate these tools in action, with opportunities for attendees to get involved—whether by trying them out or suggesting creative ideas to test on the spot.

Throughout, we’ll keep the discussion open and interactive, asking any questions we might have, and sharing experiences and insights as a community. We’ll also round things off with general conversation and networking around these discussions.

You will not need to bring laptops for this, we will collaborate together as a group on any practical elements.

Pizza and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
