NSLondon

A group for iOS and Mac developers who want to explore all that's new and fascinating in Apple development. Expect deep dives and bleeding edge stuff.

We meet quarterly in London. For updates on new events, join the Meetup group or follow us on Mastodon, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, or YouTube.

If you are interested in speaking at a future event, then please fill in our speaker proposal form. We welcome first-time speakers and want to help you get started.
