For over 12 years UKAUG has presented opportunities for so many enthusiastic technologists to gather, speak, learn and bond. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of a grassroots community organisation that’s seen us move from 8 people in a pub function room, to over 800 people in Twickenham Stadium.
