What we can learn from Real* Engineers

Fusion is back for another year of awesome events, incredible speakers, tasty food from our fellow brummie foodies, and those oh so moreish cupcakes!

Join us at Studio Venues, Cannon Street, Birmingham on Thursday 29th of February at 6pm for another evening of Fusion goodness.

The meetup will fall on 'Leap Day' and the Fusion team love any excuse to celeberate, so we welcome any frog themed attire but ask that you refrain from any 'leap frog' practice whilst inside of the venue 🐸

We have a strict Code of Conduct at Fusion and we ask that you read it before purchasing a ticket to attend

Its time for the final Fusion of 2023 and what a year its been!

Huge thanks to our headline sponsors for this year, Infobip. What a brilliant team! We've loved every minute of working with them, and hopefully they'll be joining the Fusion fun in 2024! 😉

The next Fusion event will be held at Studio Venues, Cannon Street, Birmingham on Thursday November 23rd at 6pm.

Joining us for another year, we have All-Greek Street food. If you came to Fusion last September, you will know how good their food was! Can't wait to get our hands on one of their famous gyros!

We've finally got the summer Fusion date booked in and this time we're mixing things up a little bit! Fusion will be held at 

 (Old Municipal Bank) opposite the library.

We're so excited to be working closely with The University of Birmingham, and having had some wonderful and super insightful meetings with the team at The Exchange we are really excited about trying out this venue.

Fusion will be held on the top floor in the Assembly room and we'll have a great break out space next to that for food and drinks. There will also be an opportunity to look around the building and view the old bank vaults in the basement.



Brrrrrrringing the flavour by the bucket load, we'll be joined by our pals at Habaneros!!

We're back for the first Fusion Meetup of the year! 🎉

For in person tickets, the event will start at 6pm, for online tickets the stream will start at 7pm. We will have a short break in between talks and will hold Q&A after the main talks only. There will be a chance to talk with the other speakers during the interval and after the event.

Shout out to Rudy's pizza for stepping in last minute to serve the flavour at Fusion with their delicious pizzas!

Sadly we couldn't make things work for Pietanic at the venue, but no doubt they'll back at Fusion next year.

We are bringing you the well-known Fusion vibes at Studio venues, as well as having the option to watch from the comfort of your own home.

For in person tickets, the event will start at 6pm, for online tickets the stream will start at 7pm.

Due to sponsor requirements, we aren't accepting ticket requests from recruiters/sales people.

It wouldn't be Fusion Meet-up without showcasing one of the amazing street food vendors we have in our wonderful city.

We will have a relatively quick turnaround on food, so our pals at The Indian Brewery will be boxing us up some of their delicious fat naans so we can make sure everyone is fed before we kick off our evening with Jake and our other speakers. The Fat Naan options are chicken, paneer and chana masala! (YUM!)

Please be sure to let us know if you require a vegetarian option. This can be done by emailing the Fusion Team directly or dropping us a message through Meetup.com or Twitter @thefusion_hub

We're back for another online instalment of Fusion Meetup! We know many of you are desperate to get back to in person events, but at this moment in time sticking with the online format feels like the safest thing to do for our team, speakers and attendees. We are working behind the scenes to see if we can bring you a small (socially distanced) event for our September meetup, look out for future updates on that!

We're working on getting some swag packs together for our attendees, so be sure to look out for the link to get yours during the event!
