What is the Cafe?

The Cafe is Village Square's monthly online session. Each edition takes one theme — AI, careers, product, whatever the community is chewing on — and unpacks it with a talk from a member and a live Q&A.

It's deliberately low-key. Drop in from your sofa, ask anything in the Q&A, or just listen in — there's no pressure to have your camera on.

How it works

Sessions run for about an hour: a 45-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of open Q&A. We host on Google Meet and share the link when you register.

Dates are announced on Instagram each month. It's free, and everyone is welcome — whatever your role or experience level.

What attendees said

Practical from start to finish — I left with three AI workflows I now use every day.
Attendee, Edition 1
The Q&A alone was worth it. Real questions, straight answers, no fluff.
Attendee, Edition 1
Felt like the community Hull's tech scene has been missing — even online.
