Meeting Dates

The dates for upcoming sessions are here, but discussion material will be shared a few weeks before the session. All additional material can be found in the relevant session information document.

An sign-up link will be sent out via Slack, as well as our mailing list so that we can keep attendance within a manageable number. We will meet on Microsoft Teams - please contact the organisers via email if you do not receive an invite.
