It’s all Brighton and it’s all good
The Brighton digital crowd of uber nerds, super geeks and digital deities are a difficult lot to keep up with up… what with all the groups, twittering, fashionable co-working, and of course, the awards, talks and socials it can all be a bit of a social whirl wind. For us lot here at Brightenup we think its all great, we love to listen in what’s getting the locals excited, what’s getting the super geeks talking and why the designers are looking serious.
There’s loads of groups, networks and businesses to get involved with, so we thought it might be rather super to make a little / favorites list, so that you lot can enjoy them too.
