by Startacus Admin
Calendars at the ready folks, it’s time for a look at some of the UK and Ireland startup events happening in 2015.
In our daily ramblings across the world of startups over the past year, we were lucky to come across and have the honour of attending, a huge range of fabulous startup events in the UK and Ireland. Now we would like to share some of the ones coming
up in 2015 that we reckon are worth keeping an eye on.
This is not a definitive list mind you (and it will get updated as the year marches on) but rather just a signpost to some of the more intriguing events happening in 2015.
If you think we've missed an event that could do with being highlighted, feel free to drop an email to Startacus elf Eoin eoin@startacus.net and he will be happy to give it a look.
