GeekUp Liverpool takes place on the last Tuesday of every month and it's a grass-roots knowledge sharing and networking social for folks involved or interested in all forms of technology and creative media.
They're looking to reboot GeekUp in Liverpool over the next few months after managing to completely forget it last month! Though there are an increasing number of events in Liverpool (Maker Night, LivLUG, Ignite, SMC, Twitter Pub Crawl, etc. etc.) they still think there's space for GeekUp. As part of this John McKerrell be taking over most of the organisation of the event from Thom Shannon.
John says that there won't actually be much change, the meeting will still be on the last Tuesday of each month in the 3345 bar on Parr St. And he'll be trying to make more noise about it though to make sure people are aware of what's going on and who the speaker will be. He has a list of people who might like to give a talk and has got one lined up for April but if anyone wants to put their name down to speak at a future event please let John Mckerrell know @mcknut
The next event will be on March 29th, as that's pretty soon John has agreed do the talk himself with a round-up of the Makerfaire UK event that he went to in Newcastle the other weekend and an update on the maker/hardware hacking scene in Liverpool. As usual it's in 3345 on Parr St, which is the bar over Studio 2, inconspicuous door to the left of Studio 2 and straight up the stairs.
He has added the event on lanyrd to try to gauge the attendance but feel free to just turn up! You can sign up to attend here on Lanyrd
