ACCU Local and Affiliated Groups

Local Groups

ACCU has local groups in the UK and the rest of the world. Local groups hold regular meetings which take the form of presentations or discussions about all things software related.

• Regular talks and discussions
  

  From low-level systems programming to high-level architecture, we host engaging talks and conversations on a wide range of topics relevant to today's software practitioners.

• Cross-language focus
  

  We’re not dogmatic. C++, Java, Rust, Haskell, Go. It’s all welcome. We believe the best developers learn from multiple paradigms and communities.

• Professional development
  

  We promote lifelong learning and craft in software. Whether you're early in your career or decades deep, ACCU is a place to grow.

• Community and conversation
  

  Our local meetups are a welcoming space to meet other developers, share experiences, ask hard questions, and build connections.

• Propose a talk
  

  We’re always looking for new voices! If you have something to share. From war stories to wild ideas, let your local group know.

Local group meetings are free of charge to attend. Attendance is open to all - members of ACCU and non-members alike.

For members interested in starting a local group, there is a starter kit (requires member login).

Affiliated Groups

In addition to ACCU local groups, we also support affiliated groups. These are existing, established meet-ups or other form of user-group, that are well aligned with the ACCU, but are managed and directed independently. As an organisation, ACCU offers such groups a number of benefits (more details here, including being listed below:
