Pixel Pioneers Belfast 2017 will take place right at the harbourside in the heart of the city. We've put together a little guide to places to stay and eat to suit all tastes and budgets and some great things to do in Belfast!
An Evening with Shopify on Wednesday, 15 November, will take place at The Black Box.
The Black Box is housed in a Grade II listed building on Hill Street in the historical Cathedral Quarter of Belfast, originally constructed c. 1850 and converted into its current usage as an arts venue in 2006.
It has been established as one of the principal arts and entertainment venues in the city, and has a long tradition of hosting digital events, too. Refresh Belfast was run here as well as An Afternoon With Shopify, a side event of Christopher Murphy's Break conference in 2014. Of course it was also a base of operations for the popular Build conferences in 2012 and 2013.
These days The Black Box hosts Hustle, a series of laid-back design talks, organised by Mike Williams.
