An update on the Nov23 edition of Silicon Milkroundabout

About SMR, Next event, SMR | | < 1 min read

Well there’s no denying that 2023 has proved to be more than a little challenging. So I wanted to let everyone know that we’ve had to make the hard decision to cancel the November event.

This wasn’t an easy decision and we’re gutted to have to do this. But the honest truth is that we simply don’t have the number of companies hiring at scale right now to put on an event that would do our attendees justice or that we’d be proud of.

We hope to resume our ‘in person’ Silicon Milkroundabout events once the uncertainty has passed and the hiring landscape has improved. We’ll keep you posted but don’t worry, we’ll definitely return. We’ve got good form for bouncing back.

In the meantime, we’re exploring more innovative & digital ways of connecting you to the companies that matter and have some exciting new announcements that we’ll be making over the next few months. We’re very much seeing this as an opportunity to do something completely new. Every cloud has a silver lining 🙂

In the meantime, we wish you all the very best with it and hope to connect with you soon!

Thanks

Liam

Silicon Milkroundabout presents… NEXT GEN

A new event to support the next generation of tech talent.

Friday 18 November 2022 | The Truman Brewery

We are excited to announce that we will be introducing a brand new event called NEXT GEN on 18 November.

Our NEXT GEN event is our way of creating change by doing what we do best. We recognise the current high demand for mid-senior level roles is leaving out a huge portion of incredible potential hires because companies aren’t as open to hiring juniors, grads or career changers. This isn’t sustainable and needs to change. These groups will eventually become the future teams who will continue to grow and make companies successful (if they are not too put off beforehand). We have to do better to help support, guide and nurture them.
