At September’s #LivTechMeetup we’ll be hearing all about a local #TechForGood project, Safe Steps. Safe Steps uses a digital falls risk assessment tool to help reduce the number of falls in care homes, improving the lives of our ageing population. The Co-Founder & Director of Safe Steps, James Chapman, will be sharing their story & the impact that their technology has had so far.
At our monthly meet-ups, InnovateHer & Agent Academy CIC, will bring you exciting new content, enhanced networking opportunities and of course inspirational speakers to motivate, educate and inspire.
This meet-up is for you if you want to discover what it’s really like to work in the tech and creative sector, would like to network with like-minded individuals, would like to learn about emerging technology, or if you are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion.
We encourage you to tweet during the event and to tag us using #LivTechMeetup.
