Following the huge success of last year’s Clubs Conference, we are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the second-ever Clubs Conference on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December 2024 in Cambridge, UK.
The event will be a weekend of learning and connecting for volunteers and educators involved in Code Club, CoderDojo, and other initiatives we support. We’d love for you to join us!
What you can look forward to
This year, we’re bringing the conference home to our offices in the centre of Cambridge.
On Friday 29 November, you’ll have the opportunity to register early and attend an informal networking event with community members, including the Foundation team.
Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December will be filled with learning and development opportunities for you, including:
- Thought-provoking talks and discussions
- Hands-on, easy-to-follow workshops exploring a range of coding and digital making activities and related topics
- Opportunities to connect with a diverse range of volunteers and educators
Join us to learn from your peers running clubs in various contexts, develop your digital making skills, and share your own insights. We look forward to learning with you.
