The Open Labs Team

I received a lovely email from Eventbrite the other day telling me about what I was up to last year...events wise. So here is a quick update from them about the events that I've organised over the last year.  

So I've organised 19 events that 719 people attended (nice) and 3.3 thousand looked at my events listing on Eventbrite. They also kindly informed me that Liam Shore is the person that attended my events the most last year! Sorry Liam I promise I'll introduce myself next time as  don't know who you are. 

If you are looking for some cool events to attend then you can check out our Eventbrite profile (lots there) plus check out the full Liverpool digital events diary here.
