Digital People in Peterborough

Hello, and welcome to the new home of Digital People in Peterborough – also known as #DPiP on Twitter and other places where a stupidly long name is a pain.

So…what is ‘Digital People in Peterborough’?

It’s a still fairly informal effort to help introduce people working in digital to each other, concentrating on Peterborough, UK, and the surrounding areas of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire etc. Everyone is welcome, and the Peterborough bit is simply to indicate that’s where the pub/venue will be.

It’s open to anyone working in digital, whether you’re employed by a large company, freelancing, or founding your own start-up. And all disciplines are welcomed and encouraged, whether you work in development, design, creating content, marketing, databases, security, systems administration or something else we haven’t thought of yet.
