Scurri reinvigorates Wexford Tech Meet-Up

Wexford’s growing tech community have a new place to get together, share ideas and network thanks to the re-launch of Wexford Tech Meetup. The first event took place at Scurri offices on Selksar Street on Tuesday, December 5, with upcoming events planned for 2024.

Over 30 tech professionals from a wide range of companies were in attendance, including employees from Iarnród Éireann, Distilled, South East Technological University (SETU), NVD, Teamwork.com and Scurri.

The Wexford Tech Meetup was organised by Gary Meehan (CTO and Founder, Retrograde), Alan Moran (Software Engineering Manager, Mastercard) and Colm O’Connor (Brand Manager, Scurri).

Wexford Tech Meetup success

“We are delighted to have had such a strong turnout for the first of the new Wexford Tech Meetups,” mentioned Colm O’Connor, Brand Manager at Scurri, “When Alan and Gary posted on LinkedIn to gauge interest in such an event, our founder Rory O’Connor was only delighted to sponsor the event having previously set up the Wexford Tech Meetup in 2011.

“This time round Scurri were pleased to provide a location at our central Wexford town office, along with snacks and refreshments. The idea was only discussed in October, so to have over thirty tech professionals attend already is a very promising sign for things to come and indicative of the ever-increasing level of tech activity within the region.”

Generously sponsored by Scurri, the event was widely attended and thanks to the interest garnered, Scurri plans for another in early 2024. Practitioners and enthusiasts from all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome to the next Wexford Tech Meetup.
