The Sheffield Digital events calendar is one of the most popular pages on our website. It provides a handy view of the various tech and digital-related events and meetups taking place in the city.

Best of all, for the most part, it’s populated by the people who organise those events. And we’d love to add more. If you have a meetup and want to get it on the calendar, this is the post for you.

What type of event goes on the calendar?

As you can tell by looking at the calendar itself, it features local meetups in a range of areas, including web development, design, marketing, gaming, smart cities, engineering, VR and plenty more besides. It’s a community resource and we’d like have as many Sheffield events on there as possible.

There are no hard and fast rules. If your event is about technology or anything digital, then it should probably go on the calendar. There are some cases where the connection might be a little loose. But basically, if you think your event is relevant and useful to the city’s digital community, that’s the main thing.

If you’re at all unsure, just email info@sheffield.digital and we’ll help you out.

Ask us to add it to the Sheffield Digital Google Calendar

The calendar on our website pulls in entries from our own team Google Calendar. If you want to share your event please email info@sheffield.digital and we’ll add it for you.

How to keep up with events

While the Sheffield Digital calendar is super handy, it would be crackers to think that anyone checks it daily for updates. The good news is – you don’t need to. All events on the calendar get pushed to the #-events channel in the Sheffield Digital Slack community. If you’re not one of our 2500 (!) members, come join us right away.

We also include a list of upcoming events in our fortnightly newsletter and you can also follow our Bluesky account, where we post, share and link to events in the city.

Share the love – use the slide

We know that most event and meetup organisers are only too happy to work together and share information about each other’s events. That’s why we now create and maintain a single slide that contains a short list of upcoming events in Sheffield. You can download or copy and paste it into a sensible place in your own presentation.

We update the slide every week. However, the slide is set to open editing, so organisers can correct and update the slide too!
