Find things to do and places to go in Digital Exeter

Exeter is on fire at the moment, so many digital events so little time! 
Tech Nation report highlighting the growth of digital sector in Exeter. The arrival of Hub@TechExeter and the second Generator co-working space on the Quay, Exeter Science Park open for business. Those fab Cosmic people offering digital leadership courses. I can hardly keep up! 
Slight problem is knowing when everything is on and where to find out! Yes you can follow Twitter and Facebook feeds and email lists, use meetup app,  but not definitive!

Hang out and work
Innovation Centre & Cafe - Exeter University

Generator - Co working space Exeter
Exeter Library Meeting Rooms for hire
