Location: Bridie’s Bar & General Store 72 John Street Lower R95 X890
Tech Thursday, 5-minute insights from talented people across the region.
In every job, there’s something small that quietly changes everything — a tool you didn’t know you needed, a question you now always ask, a mental shortcut that just works.
Join us at Brides Bar (upstairs) for an evening of quick, practical insights from people across tech, product, design, strategy, and the wider creative scene. Each person will share one small thing that’s made a big difference in how they work.
What to Expect:
5-minute talks (no slides, no pressure)
Tools, habits, and workflows worth trying
Networking with interesting people from across the region
Practical takeaways you can use immediately
Schedule:
7:00-7:15pm: Drinks & Introduction
7:15-7:45pm: Quick Talks
7:45-8:00pm: Questions & Announcements
8:00 onwards: Discussion & Connections
Whether you come to learn new tricks or just meet people doing interesting work, you’ll leave with something useful.
Who Should Attend: Anyone working in or around tech, product, design, strategy, data, research, or creative innovation. From developers to strategists, UX designers to data analysts — if you’re curious about how others work smarter, this is for you.
About Tech Thursday: Tech Thursday is a free enterprise-led community meetup focused on collaboration and knowledge-sharing across industries. We create spaces where professionals connect, learn and grow together.
Free to attend. Just bring your curiosity and maybe a notebook — you’ll want to jot things down.
🎤 Want to speak?
We’re looking for a handful of people to give a quick, informal 5-minute talk about something small that’s made a big difference in how they work.
You don’t need slides, you don’t need to be an expert — you just need to share something useful.Here are some ideas to spark inspiration:
A tool you swear by (an app, extension, or workflow)
A habit or routine that’s made your day smoother
A small mindset shift that changed how you approach your work
A framework or principle that guides your decisions
A behind-the-scenes look at how you solved a problem
A creative or technical hack you wish more people knew
A method you use to stay focused, prioritise, or collaborate
If you’ve ever said to a friend, “Oh, you have to try this” — that’s the kind of thing we’re after.
