Following her appearance at New Adventures in January, Denise Jacobs will be coming to a special Leamington Multipack event at our usual haunt, the White Horse. Organised by Leamington Multipack regular Nivi Morales, the night promises to be one full of our regular Leamington cheer.
This event will be running from 7pm to 11pm, so even if you’re not from Leamington or Warwick, why not pop over to have a chat with the author of The CSS Detective Guide and speaker at events such as SXSW, Future of Web Design, Voices That Matter: Web Design and Interlink.

Exciting to see so many new events springing up around the Midlands in the new year - even those Web Celebs are being attracted as well.
Maybe this is the year we get more emphasis on the UK’s “second city” for the tech scene?
