Refresh Cambridge
What is Refresh?
Refresh is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of New Media endeavors in their areas. Promoting design, technology, usability, accessibility and standards.
We're not a secret society for web designers and developers. Everyone interested in "refreshing" the internet is welcome. Even if you just want to learn. As long as you believe in positive innovation, this is for you (the above description is taken from RefreshingCities.org)
Why Cambridge?
Why not? The city is an ideal candidate for the Refresh movement; dozens of design and interactive agencies, many blue-chip companies housed in the Business Park and literally thousands of students call Cambridge home.
