The Future-Proof Kotlin & Android Dev: A Manchester Community Town Hall
Instead of a standard presentation, we’re running an open town hall to talk about the reality of being an Android dev in Manchester right now.
We’ll crowdsource the agenda on the night, but some example topics could be:
- What local teams are doing and what they're finding value in.
- Navigating the current job market and what "senior" really means today.
- How KMP and AI tools are changing our day-to-day workflows.
Come share your experience, and hear what others in the community are up to, and let's figure out the skills we need to stay relevant.
Food and drink to be provided by our amazing hosts at the Auto Trader offices.
Agenda (Subject to change):
18:00 - Doors open, networking & topic gathering
18:30 - Welcome and initial discussion
19:20 - Break
19:30 - Remaining discussion topics and wrap-up
20:00 - Networking & socialising
20:30 - Close
