About
Teacamps are informal gatherings for digital people who work in and around government. They are usually two hours long including a slot for a speaker and chatting over a cup of tea, hence the name ‘teacamp’.
The original teacamp was started in February 2008 in London by @JeremyGould who also started the first UK GovCamp in January 2008. The original teacamp is still going strong, regional teacamps sprung up, and in 2011 specialist London teacamps were set up, Agile Tea, Tea Cloud and Iceteacamp.
Teacamp original covers all areas of digital / technology and is on the first Thursday of every month, 4pm – 6pm at 2nd floor House of Fraser, 101 Victoria St London SW1E 6QX. You don’t have to book, you can just turn up on the day.

Agile Tea is for those who have an interest in Agile methodology, and is held on the 3rd Thursday of every alternate month. The next meeting in 19th January, and then 15th March. People who attend tend to work with Agile in Government and non Government communities to promote rapid solutions which not only provide immediate benefits but also allows interoperabilirty. Its all very informal, we have guest speakers who talk about issues important to the group, followed by lots of Q & A and updates.
All the Agile Tea camps are in Cafe Zest from 4-pm – 6pm at 2nd floor House of Fraser, 101 Victoria St London SW1E 6QX. You don’t have to book, you can just turn up on the day.
