A weekly meet-up for startups and techies to meet like-minded people, have some fun and relax at the end of the working week.

The event was born in London in 2011 when Michael Acton Smith gathered a small group of tech friends in a local pub. 3beards founders Ben, Bryce, Mike & Joe took over to make Silicon Drinkabout what it is today. There's no mandatory sign up, just come along and say hi!

Organisers:

Kevin Plattret

Head of Technology, 3beards

Kevin is a Web Developer and 3beards’ first employee. He is in charge of anything technical here and also enjoys the occasional bit of design on his side projects. Kevin studied Digital Media at the University of Burgundy and then worked as a Web Developer and Project Manager in a Soho based web agency before he joined us in June 2013. He likes beautiful code, learning new things and a bit of banter – generally over Gin and tonic.

Vicky Hunter

Head of Operations and Community, 3beards

Having discovered the start-up scene whilst studying for a Masters in Events Management in Newcastle, Vicky moved to London and became a familiar face at Campus London and 3beards’ events. Relieved that facial hair wasn’t a necessity, Vicky joined the team on Valentines day 2014 as the first female Beard and hasn't looked back.
