Next event | March 13, 2020 | 2 min read

This post was last updated on Friday 13 March 2020

Due to the current situation surrounding the covid-19 virus we have made the decision to postpone Silicon Milkroundabout April 2020 until November 2020.

Based on the most recent news on the escalating situation in Europe we have made the difficult decision to move the planned edition of Silicon Milkroundabout on 25-26 April 2020 to 21-22 November 2020. We have been monitoring the advice from the government and health authorities closely in recent weeks and feel this is the appropriate action to take in the current circumstances.

Fresh from the first edition of The Round in NYC, Team Silicon Milkroundabout took over the Old Truman Brewery in November 2019 to host the 18th edition of London’s leading tech jobs fair. That’s right – 18! We’re now officially old enough to have a drink at our own bar.

To mark this milestone we planned one of our biggest events ever, with an expanded talks lineup, a huge range of companies from the London tech scene & beyond, a popup cocktail bar, advice sessions from Buzzbar, arts & crafts workshops and a whole lot more.

In a completely original, seasonally-relevant format, let’s take a look back at some highlights of the event by focusing on the numbers!

Sustainability at #SMRnov19

About SMR | November 6, 2019 | 6 min read

At Silicon Milkroundabout we aim to make sure the event is produced with an environmental and produces as little landfill waste as possible. After the last edition of the event in April, we started to look at each area of the event individually to outline exactly what was working, and what we needed to do better on. We’ve made some discoveries along the way and wanted to share what we’ve learnt and what we’re changing.
