Tell us a little about yourself. What do you do? What’s your job role?

Right now, I’m the Product Manager for Tesco’s UK recruitment platform. In the coming months I’ll bounce between our current platform and a new platform that’s being developed with my colleagues as a global solution and ultimately, I’ll be Product Managing that platform when the current one is sunsetted.

What started as a few friends hanging out has now become a community of over 1,000 women + non-binary folks and they’re not stopping there…

We had a blast bringing the seventeenth instalment of Silicon Milkroundabout to the Old Truman Brewery on 27-28 April 2019. Many thanks to the more than 3,000 of you who joined us, chatted to some innovative tech companies, grabbed a free coffee or beer, networked with some talented like-minded tech folk (then challenged them at street fighter), tried the best falafel in London courtesy of Imad’s Syrian Kitchen, were inspired by the speakers at our opening talks, and hopefully got some great leads on some exciting job opportunities!

We’ve pulled together some of our favourite moments from the event and some key stats so you can look back fondly or catch up on all the fun you missed! 🤙

Siliconmilkroundabout is known by its attendees as a casual and informal process. We fill an old brewery in Shoreditch with free coffee & beer, art installations, live music and London’s favourite food vendors. We do our best to make our attendees feel relaxed, and so they’re able to rid themselves of the usual pre-interview jitters and meet their ideal employers in a stress-free, enjoyable environment.
