At TechSparx, we decided to list 10 regular tech meetups in East and West Midlands, as they are a very effective networking technique and extremely valuable for the community. Through meetups, people share ideas, interests and build businesses, which is of great importance especially when it comes to technology. They all have something special about them and apart from having the best speakers and dealing with important issues, they are held regularly once a month. We encourage you to get out there and start meeting up!
