At Bristol Tech Festival we explore the industry through a series of fun social events, encouraging everyone to participate through interactive seminars, workshops and activities spread across the city. This year we will be bringing you a different theme each day: Purpose, Protect, People, Play, Pioneer.
All of this wouldn't be possible without our headline sponsor SoftCat, and our community sponsors. If you're interested in supporting the festival do speak with us here. If you'd like to host an event at this year's festival, please see more details here!
Keep your eyes peeled for more info and tickets coming soon!
