Technology festival returns to Bristol
A festival described as the UK’s largest and most connected regional tech event is returning to Bristol.
From October 9 to 13, Bristol Technology Festival will see five days of showcases, workshops, panel discussions and events.
Throughout the week, tech companies will showcase their progress, innovations and leadership with each day of the festival taking on a different theme.
The event is run by techSPARK, who are based at Engine Shed focused on supporting and strengthening the South West tech and digital community
Ben Shorrock, managing director at techSPARK, said: “The purpose of the Bristol Technology Festival is to showcase and support the thriving tech ecosystem in Bristol and the South West. In Bristol alone, tech accounts for 36 per cent of the city’s high-growth businesses.
“These organisations operate right on the bleeding edge of what’s possible; places and events like Bristol Technology Festival act as incubators for their creativity and innovation.”
Each day the Bristol Technology Festival will begin with headline sponsors, Ghyston’s Breakfast Club at Engine Shed. From breakfast onwards, each day will be packed with events.
Monday’s focus is science, with a health-tech and deep tech showcase demonstrating the science-led innovation in the region.
In partnership with AND Digital, Tuesday is “People Day Summit”, dedicated to unlocking new thinking and translating ideas into impact.
Cybersecurity takes centre stage on Wednesday, with this year’s Bristol & Bath Cyber Con. The day will see a blend of workshops, hackathons, panel debates, and 20 industry-leading speakers.
On Thursday, MyWorld & Digital Catapult are bringing together a collection of industry leaders, investors, start-up founders, and SMEs to explore how innovation is going to shape creative technology in ten years’ time.
The Bristol Technology Festival runs from October 9 to 13 at locations throughout central Bristol. Spots can be booked via www. techspark.co/tech-festival/
