Source Code #2 event

Two worlds.
One room.

Source Code brings together the people building the tools and the people telling the stories — editors from national papers, engineers at media startups, researchers, documentary makers, product leads, and everyone in between.

We meet in London for short talks, honest debates, and the kind of hallway conversations that actually change how you work. No vendor pitches. No fluff. Just the people doing the work.

Craft

Short, dense talks

Three to five speakers. Twenty minutes max each. No death-by-PowerPoint.

Community

Real conversations

Enough time to talk properly. No one rushing you out the door.

Openness

No gatekeeping

Journalists who can't code and engineers who've never filed a story are both welcome.
