Experience Acquia London
We're so excited to welcome you back to our first in person event in over a year! We've decided that everyone has seen way too many web meetings this past 12 months and so we've made all of our content about face to face engagement and short format. The emphasis is well and truly about networking, meeting people and having fun, all while learning about technology advancements and hearing from industry experts and thought leaders. Check out the agenda below:

From 3pm onwards on September 16th, we'd love to welcome you to The Langham, London, where we will be joined by an array of fantastic sponsors and customers, as we host a short, live panel discussion followed by an evening of networking in the summer sun.

Announcing our special guest speaker - Jamie Bartlett!
You may have heard of Jamie Bartlett as the author of The Dark Net: Inside the Digital Underworld. Or perhaps you’re one of the 5 million people who’ve seen his TEDtalk ‘How the mysterious dark net is going mainstream’. He specialises in peeling back the hidden corners of the internet to reveal the dark secrets and strange subcultures that lurk within.
Jamie’s talk at Experience Acquia London, ‘The World is 2030’ will take you on a journey of discovery - asking you to think about how crime, politics, and data will look in the next 10 years.
