They will be discussing a range of topics under the theme ‘Humans vs Tech: Building meaningful connections in today’s hybrid world.’ – (check out the full bios below). This includes interactive discussions around building emotionally and physically diverse tech teams, the importance of connecting beyond the screen, the role of tech in today’s hybrid world, and how tech is supporting employee mental health.

The SocialCode events provide a great opportunity to learn and network with like-minded local techies with complimentary drinks and goodies. Loopin has also lined up the local’s favourite Pizzeria, Flour and Ash, so you can enjoy FREE pizza too! What’s more, if you can’t attend this event in person, you can watch it via a Zoom live stream.

Loopin’s Slack-integrated tool helps support employee wellbeing and mental health, through social connection. Loopin aims to prevent trends of stress and burnout by encouraging employees to check-in with their daily mood and emotions, without fear of judgement.

Julie Main – Master Principal Solution Architect at Qlik – The Importance of Storytelling with Data

From caveman drawings to silent movies, visual storytelling has been used to educate, engage, and motivate audiences for centuries. The digital age, however, has ushered in a new set of tools and technologies that can be used for visual storytelling.

So what makes a ‘good’ story? Julie will be showing you how you can get your insight into your data, collaborate, get the engagement from others and help to support and prompt decision making.

Amy Lobé (She / Her) – Senior Product Designer at Seccl – Empathy – The Access Tool to Accessibility

Amy will be holding an interactive session all about accessibility. In this talk, you will find out how empathy is the most powerful tool and how to build with accessibility in mind.

Using your own devices, you will be allowing yourselves to experience temporary access needs. You’ll be leaving this talk with a new appreciation for how situational, temporary and permanent access needs impact people’s use of your digital products.

Reserve your space and get your pizza secured!
