Bridging the Gap: Connecting Business and Developers

A panel discussion looking at how effective collaboration between business teams and developers is crucial to drive innovation and achieve success.

Join Society1 for their next Preston Tech Connection Meet-Up.

This month's theme is - Bridging the Gap: Connecting Business and Developers.

Join for an engaging panel discussion around how to foster collaboration between business leaders and software developers.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, bridging the gap and creating collaboration between these two essential groups is crucial for innovation and success.

However, a common challenge persists: a gap in communication and understanding between these two critical groups. This event aims to address that challenge by exploring strategies to align business objectives with technical execution, ensuring both teams work towards shared goals.

Meet The Panel

  • Dan Plummer, Product Manager at Conferma
  • Darryl Stott, Principal Business Analyst at Bellcurve Global
  • James Wright, Full-Stack Software Engineer at Holibob

The evening will start at 6pm. Some drink refreshments will be provided and there will be an opportunity to meet and chat with other attendees before the main discussion topic.

About Preston Tech Connection

Preston Tech Connection is a group centred around an interest in digital technologies - our events and meet-ups are a place where tech enthusiasts can come together, exchange ideas, work on projects, and support one another.

Preston Tech Connection was created by Tom Crawley Neon Mountain and Catarina and Brendan King, Society1. We host monthly events with thought-provoking topics to explore new technologies, challenge the status quo, and push the boundaries of what's possible in the digital world.

Our events cover topics like software, programming, hardware and emerging tech. We have a shared interest in the latest advancements in the digital realm. We host events with a social and collaborative aspect, workshops, guest speaker events, and networking.

We are an inclusive group and open for anyone to attend. You don't need to work in tech. If you are interested in the topics or just want to come and be part of a friendly community of people exploring the digital and tech world, you are welcome.

Tom Crawley

After 25 years in the software development game, Tom has seen it all. Starting out as a Delphi developer in the late 90s, Tom moved quickly through various technologies and businesses until he decided to give up the permanent game for the contractor life.

Forming Marimosa in 2011 as a vehicle for contract work, Tom ended up building the business into a B2B software agency with a team of developers, marketing and admin. Marimosa would go on to build software across a range of industries from construction through logistics and customs to gaming!

Tom has covered a lot of ground. Having sold the assets of Marimosa in 2023 he has completed the full circle. Tom is building a unique product to bring to market in 2024 as well as helping businesses with their software and technology via his new business, Neon Mountain. Known for his questionable taste in shirts, love for ridiculously spicy food and expensive guitars, Tom loves to talk about the lessons he has learned over the years in his journey to today.
