About the conference
VICTORIA BATHS, ManchesteR
Our core festival at Manchester Tech Festival is the place to be for all tech enthusiasts!
Whether you’re a CEO or a tech newcomer, our core festival features two days of talks, panels, and fireside chats that cover the most urgent tech topics impacting our community. Our Tech Expo gives you the opportunity to meet and network with a variety of industry-leading tech businesses who will exhibit across the two days and our evening socials give you the chance to wind down at the end of the day and mingle with speakers and attendees from the day.
Our core festival is ideal for anyone existing in and around the tech space, offering a rich array of content and networking opportunities that is designed to leave every techie with newfound knowledge and connections.
What to expect
Manchester Tech Festival caters to everyone, no mater what stage in your career you are at, there is something for everyone across the two days.
Content is split across three stages giving you the opportunity to craft your own unique agenda ensuring you get the most out of your visit!
The content featured at our core festival is built around what is currently urgent, topical and developing in the tech space. This can range from more socially conscious discussions around how we can promote inclusivity in tech, to the more granular, techie topics like ‘How can we build accessibility into our code?’.
Our Tech Expo features over 15 different tech companies from Manchester looking to employ the next generation of techies or help you to help you grow your business. Our Expo Hall features a number of breakout areas giving you the opportunity to break off for more in depth conversation. We also design our agenda to give you plenty of opportunity throughout the festival to browse the expo!
Inclusivity is at the heart of Manchester Tech Festival and we work hard to ensure all of our spaces throughout the festival work for everyone. That’s why we have a number of calm zones and mental health spaces giving you the opportunity to retreat and reboot in a calm, quit space away from the hustle and bustle of the festival.
