Village Square Cafe
Our monthly online session — one themed talk, a live Q&A, and Hull's tech community on the same Google Meet. The easiest way to plug into the Square from wherever you are.
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.”
“The Q&A alone was worth it. Real questions, straight answers, no fluff.”
“Felt like the community Hull's tech scene has been missing — even online.”
