The Skills Matter origin story
Founded in 2003 in central London, Skills Matter is one of the largest tech communities in the world. We’ve gone from a seedling in the early noughties to a community tree of 140,000+ members of the tech community. But we want to grow into one of those giant sequoias in California, and that’s where you come in.
Our aim is to create opportunities for those in tech — whether they be developers, architects, product managers, producers, DevOps engineers, Cloud engineers, anybody! — to come together to learn and collaborate.
CodeNode is our state-of-the-art learning and community hub in central London. It was built specifically for us, giving us a leg up to best present courses, conferences, workshops and meet ups and bring the tech community from around the globe together.
But we aren’t stopping there. With tech playing such a fundamental role in the way we continue to shape our society, there has never been a better reason to extend our activities overseas. To this effect, we are now offering conferences in the US and have our eyes set on other major tech hubs across the world.
