Building on the popularity of past events, Shropgeek is proud to present… Rebellion #5 – The (almost) Christmas party.
We’ve already proven that revolutionary thinking is not uncommon in Shrewsbury, but now we want to ring out the year in style! And what better way to round everything off than by finishing with our biggest “Rebellion” event to date?
We’ve invited some of the digital industries leading talent to come along, share skills and present earth-shattering ideas. So why not join us for some food and drink and maybe even a cocktail or two – it will be (almost) Christmas after all.
Tickets are only £10 per person, doors open at 6.30pm with the first speaker starting at 7pm.

In this talk we’ll take a look at a number of things that even the most design-challenged people (like myself) can do to enhance and improve the quality and appearance of their typography online. As well as some practical tips, we’ll also learn a little about the quirks and reasons behind many typographic rules and nuances.

I also host the popular In My Mug weekly show where I taste coffee in all sorts of places from all sorts of brew methods. The show is just clicked over 250 episodes.
In this talk I will take a look at three leading brands, and how they stand out in a crowded market place, and are able to charge much more than their competitors for a similar product and still make them happy. But be able to do this on a large scale and be in the mainstream.
