Belfast Gophers, aka The Go Belfast User Group (GBUG), are a Belfast-based community for anyone interested in the Go programming language. Belfast Gophers held their first Meetup on Wednesday, 22 June, 2016, and since then the group has grown to over 700 members. We hold a Meetup once a quarter at DailyPay's offices. All Meetups are free, and typically comprise a number of talks and socialising, with food and drink provided. We live-stream all Meetups via zoom thanks to GoBridge. Recordings of previous meet-ups are available on our YouTube channel, where you can also find an archive of previous recordings.

Membership of Belfast Gophers is managed via our Meetup page; everyone is welcome! We also have an active Twitter feed and our members are active in the #belfast, Gophers Slack (sign-up here).

We are very proud to be media partners with the following awesome Go conferences.

We would love to hear from you! Whether it is your first talk or your fiftieth, a deep dive or a few minutes on something you have learned, every talk is welcome and every proposal is appreciated. First-time speakers are especially welcome: we are a friendly crowd, and the organisers are happy to help you shape your idea. Just fill in our talk proposal form and one of us will be in touch to find a date that suits you.
