⌖ Brighton · The Walrus Pub

Hosted by Brighton CTO

Brighton CTO’s November Meetup brings technology leaders together at The Walrus Pub in Brighton on 18 November 2026 to discuss running a tech function. This in-person evening offers a useful forum for people responsible for technology teams and strategy to compare experiences, raise current challenges and learn how peers approach the realities of technology leadership. Organised by Brighton CTO and hosted by Martyn F., the meetup runs from 6:30pm to 9:30pm GMT. What to expect The central theme is deliberately practical: the common challenges involved in running a technology function. Rather than focusing on a particular product, framework or technical discipline, the event creates space for an open conversation about technology leadership. Attendees can bring the issues they are currently navigating, hear perspectives from others in comparable roles and contribute lessons from their own organisations. The meetup format is suited to peer discussion and professional connection. There is no published line-up of formal speakers or fixed session topics, so expect the conversation to be shaped by the technology leaders in the room. That makes this especially relevant if you value candid, experience-led discussion over a presentation-heavy programme. You may find the evening useful if you are: - A CTO or senior technology leader responsible for a technology function - Working in engineering leadership and looking to exchange practical experience - Moving towards a senior leadership role and seeking insight into its challenges - Interested in meeting other members of the local technology community Venue and timings The meetup takes place on Wednesday 18 November 2026, from 6:30pm until 9:30pm GMT, at The Walrus Pub, 10 Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AD. The pub setting supports an informal, conversational evening where participants can discuss leadership challenges face to face. With three hours scheduled, there should be time to explore different viewpoints and build useful connections with peers who understand the demands of leading technology. If you run, lead or help shape a technology function and want a grounded conversation with others facing similar responsibilities, this Brighton CTO meetup provides a focused local setting for that exchange.… Register for this event
