Nossos Eventos

Software Craftsmanship in 2025 is so much more than just writing code.
Join the Software Crafters Cambridge community and a panel with a wide range of career paths for an evening of tech career advice.

Join us for an interactive, roundtable discussion in an unconference format. Everyone is encouraged to suggest topics related to software development, craftsmanship, or any tech-related challenges. After voting on the topics, we’ll focus on discussing the most popular ones.

It’s a great chance to dive into the issues that matter to you, share insights, and collaborate on practical solutions. Whether you're seeking advice, offering your perspective, or eager to learn from others' experiences, this is a space to tackle real-world problems together.

No preparation is needed, just bring your ideas, challenges, and curiosity!

Food and drinks are provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

Join us on 14th August, 6–9 pm for an evening of relaxed in‑person networking with fellow CTOs in London.

We're gathering at Codurance's Farringdon office for a mid-summer moment of connection and conversation.

Working in tech we face a myriad of problems every day. From technical problems to team problems and business problems. Software Development is a diverse industry with endless options available to tackle the challenges we face.

As Software Craftspeople we believe in the power of the community to help motivate meaningful change in the industry as a whole. This session aims to leverage the communities' collective knowledge and use it to help other solves the issues they face in the industry.

We invite individuals to come along and present their problems (not their solutions!) to the group so that we might attempt to offer potential solutions based upon our collective experiences. No need for slide-shows or data sets! We want to converse and chat about the issues we face. This is not a trial or a lecture! It is about having real people with real issues find resolutions.

Come one, come all and benefit from those around you and if you just fancy coming along to listen, well at least there will be pizza and drinks as usual!

Join us for a special breakfast briefing exploring the practical realities of AI adoption in software engineering in Manchester.

The history of software development is a story of revolutions, each wave reshaping how code is written, how systems are built, and how complexity is managed. Today, we stand on the edge of another major shift: the rise of AI-assisted software engineering.

Join us on 10th September, from 8:30am to 10:30am, at Codurance’s Manchester office for a special breakfast briefing exploring the key insights from our new eBook, Beyond the Hype: Strategic AI Code Adoption for Technology Leaders.

Based on real-world experience from software engineers combined with in-depth analysis, Matt Belcher, Head of Emerging Technology at Codurance’s, report provides an evidence-based perspective on how AI-powered coding tools can be adopted purposefully and effectively within engineering teams. Matt will also be joined by Simon Shaw, Regional Managing Director at Codurance, and Jaz Chana, Fractional CTO.

This collaborative session will bring together senior technology leaders to discuss the practical realities of AI adoption, including:

• Insights from those already using AI coding tools in production, sharing what’s working and what’s not.
• Where AI can deliver real value in production-grade software.
• The role of prompt engineering in achieving consistent, high-quality outcomes with AI tools.
• How to adopt AI tools with purpose, discipline and long-term strategy
• The risks of poorly structured prompts, including inaccurate, biased, or low-value outputs.

Whether you're just starting to explore AI or looking to scale adoption across your teams, this is a chance to connect with peers, share lessons learned, and leave with practical ideas to shape your roadmap.

This event is ideal for technology leaders responsible for driving innovation and leading engineering teams. Breakfast and networking included.

• Nikita Koselev, Lead Software Development Engineer / AI Evangelist at Mastercard
• Brice Fernandes, Director of Software Engineering at Raspberry Pi Foundation
• Tolga Sofuoglu, Director of Engineering at Artlogic 

AI coding tools promise to boost productivity, reduce complexity, and transform how we build software. But what’s actually happening in the real world?

In this session, Matt Belcher, Head of Emerging Technology at Codurance, dives into the fast-moving world of AI in software engineering. He’ll share practical insights from real client work, hands-on experiments during our recent AI coding events, and key takeaways from our new whitepaper report, Beyond the Hype: Strategic AI Code Adoption for Technology Leaders.

Whether you're writing code or shaping strategy, you'll gain practical insights into:

• How the right AI adoption strategy can boost team performance, reduce friction and accelerate long-term engineering goals
• How to adopt AI tools with purpose, discipline, and long-term thinking
• The risks of poor implementation, from bloated codebases to biased or unreliable outputs
• What’s working (and what’s not) for teams using AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Amazon Q
• How our clients are adopting AI across real-world projects, from rapid prototyping to developer enablement

• This webinar is ideal for CTOs, Heads of Engineering, Software Architects, Senior Developers, and anyone exploring how to adopt AI coding tools strategically and responsibly.
