Refresh Cambridge
What is Refresh?
Refresh is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of New Media endeavors in their areas. Promoting design, technology, usability, accessibility and standards.
We're not a secret society for web designers and developers. Everyone interested in "refreshing" the internet is welcome. Even if you just want to learn. As long as you believe in positive innovation, this is for you (the above description is taken from RefreshingCities.org)
Next event
The next Refresh will discuss developing with ExpressionEngine and takes place on Wednesday 2nd of December at Anglia Ruskin University on East Road, Cambridge from 7pm. Hope to see you there!
Get involved
If you would like to get involved, sign-up to the Refresh Cambridge mailing list to discuss how we can improve the internet together.
