We're going to start the day at a nice civilised time. Registration is from 9am. There will be tea, coffee, and pastries, so get there in plenty of time to register and have a nice chat with your fellow attendees. There'll be breaks throughout the day too.
Those yummy pastries and hot drinks are supplied courtesy of our sponsors Buildit @ Wipro Digital—many thanks to them!
Each talk will be 30 minutes long. There'll be two talks back-to-back and then a break. That gives you plenty of breathing space to absorb all those knowledge bombs that the speakers will be dropping.
Lunch will be a good hour and a half. Lunch isn't provided so you can explore the neighbourhood where there are plenty of treats on offer. And your Patterns Day badge will even get you some discounts...
The lovely Café Rust is offering these deals to attendees:
- Cake and coffee for £5
- Cake and cup of tea for £4
- Sandwich and a drink for £7
The Joker (right across the street from the conference venue) is offering a 10% discount of food and drinks (but not cocktails) to Patterns Day attendees. I highly recommend their hot wings. Try the Rufio sauce—it's awesome! Do not try the Shadow—it will kill you.

We should be out of the Duke of York's by 4:45pm after a fantastic day of talks. At that point, we can head around the corner (literally) to Holler Brewery. They are very kindly offering each attendee a free drink! Over to them:
Holler is a community based brewery, always at the centre of the local community. Here to make great beer, but also to help support community run pubs, carnival societies, mental health charities, children’s amateur dramatic groups, local arts groups and loads more, because these are what keep our communities healthy and together… the people in them!
Holler loves great beer and its way of bringing people together. They are excited to be welcoming the Patterns Day attendees and the design community to the taproom.
Terms and conditions:
- One token entitles to you one Holler beer or one soft drink
- Redeemable only on Friday 28th June 2019 between 4:45 and 20:00
- You must hand your token over to the bar team
You'll get your token when you register in the morning, along with your sticker. That's right; sticker. Every expense has been spared so you won't even have a name badge on a lanyard, just a nice discrete but recognisable sticker for the event.
I am so, so excited for Patterns Day! See you at the Duke of York's on June 28th!
