In my last post I talked about how AI is amplifying the isolation of working from home. Now for a few more things to get humans back in your life...

This week A/C has been fighting against AI driven isolation.

Many members are coming for extra days of coworking at The Skiff to escape the heatwave. Imagine working comfortably in an Air-Conditioned space that's 10 degrees cooler than your home office!

(And also has big-screen monitors you can plug your laptop into and you can book a day to try it for free!)

But there's also loads of stuff going on this week away from home and The Skiff...

There are more things I'm interested in attending in a single week than I can remember.

Tonight I'm going to attempt to visit all three of these gatherings with Gus (Urlbox's newest team member) who's visiting Brighton:

​Tech Leaders Meetup - Brighton tonight at The Joker pub - Brighton 6pm-8pm

​Ruby Rooftop Hangout tonight at Charanga’s office roof terrace in International House from 6pm-9pm

​Brighton Freelancers Farm tonight at Battle of Trafalgar pub 8pm - 11pm

I think he's going to want to move to Brighton after meeting all the awesome people I'm expecting to see there!

Gus is visiting Brighton to attend the brilliant Brighton Ruby tomorrow.

But there are two other huge conferences this week that are going to be bringing together even more wonderful people.
​
Also on Thursday is Create With_ - The UK's flagship conference for people building software, AI agents and automations without code.
​
On Friday you'll find various members of The Skiff in the audience and manning different stands at Evolve 26 (created by the team behind Silicon Brighton):

This weekend I'm heading to something with my family out in Sussex that's not tech related.

We love their drinks and company so much we help them pick their apples most years and we can't wait to spend the day enjoying the results of that work.

Waking the Cider is giant all-day tap-night with 11 hours of live music, the best local food producers, loads of artist-led craft activities and Bignose and Beardy's biggest selection of real Sussex ciders to taste.

Join us in a tranquil rural orchard at the Cidery in Framfield for a day of music, making, eating, drinking, chatting and community celebration, maybe even dancing in the moonlight...

Hope to see you somewhere away from your home and your screen soon!

PS Friday 10th July is going to be another busy day.

🚶In the morning it'll be our 2nd Stripe Community Brighton event - a breakfast walk on the Downs.

🎥 At lunchtime we'll be recording a short film at The Skiff capturing as many members experiences from over the last two decades as we can.

🍾 That evening we're having a special gathering at The Skiff from 5pm to celebrate the 20th birthday of the company that started The Skiff (now called The Skiff Ltd) - I can't believe it's been two decades since I started my first company!

Hit reply to let me know if you'd like to come along to either of those gatherings - space is limited.
