    @SiAdcock Hah, it does. It's slightly unusual - there's a kind of umbrella organisation who claim to be the Birmingham tech "ecosystem" but it seems to be mostly enterprise networking and award ceremonies and not very well respected by the folks organising actual community things.

      @SiAdcock There are some great meetups - @brumphp, @brumjs, @FusionMeetup and groups like @codebarBrum are doing great things. Lots of passionate people like @jesslynnrose, @SecondeJ, @hannah_fusion and @sil are all big proponents of what's happening here, plus loads of others.

        @SiAdcock slack.birmingham.io/ is a great local Slack for these questions and I know the universities have some awesome stuff happening, eg. @kathrice_, @TauOmicronMu are doing cool things (I know I've missed people here). @383project do bigger scale events too (eg. @canvasconf).

          @SiAdcock These are just my biases/interests (and my mates) so I recommend asking on the above Slack for other opinions - I know we have some AI and AWS meetups etc. We're not up there with Manchester (or Nottingham who seem to be doing amazingly) but we're trying!
