The Dadamac Meetups (face-to-face meetings) happen in London. The focus of our meeupts is our rapidly changing world (especially, but not only, the world of work). The emphasis is on being "stronger together" as we face an uncertain future.
The connection between the London group and other Dadamac initiatives will become clear with time. I won't explainin it now. I will simply introduce the meetups and some of the people. New members are welcome.
Most of the information below - and much more - can be found at Dadamac Meetups but I'm pulling some out to give you a flavour.
Why join?
We’re running Dadamac meetups because we genuinely believe that “we are stronger together” - and we believe we’ll all be “stronger together” within this group as it grows. If you're interested in "how things are changing" - and how your experiences, questions and interests tie in with those of others, and with the wider picture, then Dadamac's meet-ups could be ideal for you. Please come along and join us.
