WWDC - World (Wide Developer) Café

For the January 2024 event we hosted a World Café ☕️. A World Wide Developer Café if you will 😉

(Note; this has nothing to do with the real WWDC from Apple, and our event is not just for developers!)

This is an informal event, with an atmosphere like that of a café, creating a space that supports good conversation, where anybody is able to talk about things that matter to them.

Here you will be able to meet new people and discuss your ideas and thoughts about mobile apps. We will group into tables, discuss a topic for roughly 15 minutes, capture opinions, and then move on to another table with new people to discuss a related topic.

There will be 4 topics of discussion:

📲 Apps & Devices
💼 Business
🌍 Culture & Society
🔮 Future Predictions
