Join Reed and our guest speakers from the UK's largest electrical wholesaler, City Electrical Factors (CEF), as we explore how to harness the potential of new technology and how it can maximise cloud computing outputs.
During this free face-to-face meetup at Janet Nash House in Durham, our speakers will be using their industry expertise to guide, inform and influence mindsets when it comes to the latest technology trends. The session will be split into two separate talks from our speakers.
In session one, Peter Carr, Cloud Platform Engineering Team Lead at CEF, will lead attendees on a journey through the technological timeline and uncover why, to fully harness the potential of new technology, we must reinvent our thought patterns.
Discover how adopting a fresh mindset is the key to unlocking the full potential of cost-effective networking architecture that scales for the future.
Session two will see Lee Gilmore, CEF’s Global Head of Technology & Architecture and prominent AWS serverless advocate, delve into the practical fusion of theory, architecture and code in serverless computing.
His talk will help uncover how to harness domain-driven design, clean code, and event-driven architectures to maximise the potential of successful serverless solutions.
As a Tech on the Tyne event, this meetup has been designed to familiarise you with the latest tech, providing a ‘hands on’ experience.

More about Tech on the Tyne
Tech on the Tyne is a free software development event run by Reed Technology for those who are looking to get ‘hands on’ with the latest technologies.
By using a kata format – a structured learning routine – you’ll discover exciting technologies to get your teeth into. All you need to do is bring your laptop.
The introduction to the new tech is provided by the best developers in the area. Remaining language agnostic, so you can interact with the tech however you develop, we offer a fair and open opportunity for those of all skill sets to experience something new, brush up your knowledge, or even discover a new approach from fellow learners.
This isn't designed to be a super serious, heads down event. The flow is loose, and collaboration is encouraged. As long as you feel you've gained new knowledge, we're happy.
This is an interactive event, so please remember to bring your laptop. Refreshments are provided.
