An update on the Nov23 edition of Silicon Milkroundabout

About SMR, Next event, SMR | October 17, 2023 | < 1 min read

Well there’s no denying that 2023 has proved to be more than a little challenging. So I wanted to let everyone know that we’ve had to make the hard decision to cancel the November event.

This wasn’t an easy decision and we’re gutted to have to do this. But the honest truth is that we simply don’t have the number of companies hiring at scale right now to put on an event that would do our attendees justice or that we’d be proud of.

We hope to resume our ‘in person’ Silicon Milkroundabout events once the uncertainty has passed and the hiring landscape has improved. We’ll keep you posted but don’t worry, we’ll definitely return. We’ve got good form for bouncing back.

In the meantime, we’re exploring more innovative & digital ways of connecting you to the companies that matter and have some exciting new announcements that we’ll be making over the next few months. We’re very much seeing this as an opportunity to do something completely new. Every cloud has a silver lining 🙂

In the meantime, we wish you all the very best with it and hope to connect with you soon!

Thanks

Liam

Silicon Milkroundabout presents… NEXT GEN

A new event to support the next generation of tech talent.

Friday 18 November 2022 | The Truman Brewery

We are excited to announce that we will be introducing a brand new event called NEXT GEN on 18 November.

Our NEXT GEN event is our way of creating change by doing what we do best. We recognise the current high demand for mid-senior level roles is leaving out a huge portion of incredible potential hires because companies aren’t as open to hiring juniors, grads or career changers. This isn’t sustainable and needs to change. These groups will eventually become the future teams who will continue to grow and make companies successful (if they are not too put off beforehand). We have to do better to help support, guide and nurture them.

Help to Grow Initiative

Since SMR 1.0 we’ve felt it vital to give a helping hand to charities, SME’s and Startup companies in our tech community. SO we have introduced a Help to Grow initiative to offer highly subsidised (50% off) exhibitor spaces for these teams.

Next event | March 13, 2020 | 2 min read

This post was last updated on Friday 13 March 2020

Due to the current situation surrounding the covid-19 virus we have made the decision to postpone Silicon Milkroundabout April 2020 until November 2020.

Based on the most recent news on the escalating situation in Europe we have made the difficult decision to move the planned edition of Silicon Milkroundabout on 25-26 April 2020 to 21-22 November 2020. We have been monitoring the advice from the government and health authorities closely in recent weeks and feel this is the appropriate action to take in the current circumstances.
