Our Cafe programme provides a forum for ICT industry and academic professionals to discuss topical matters of interest in a relaxed atmosphere. Cafe events are run on an irregular basis when events suggest the need for a forum or we have an interesting visitor available to speak. Cafe events usually begin with a brief keynote presentation and then provide an extended opportunity for discussion. We occassionally run Cafe events in partnership with other organisations.
