What we’re about
Hi everyone,
Who's excited for MTF2024!?
This year, we have TWO WHOLE WEEKS of techie goodness coming to Manchester. With the return of Women in Tech [Unfiltered], our core festival at Victoria Baths and our brand new AI conference- we can't wait to bring MTF2024 to you in October!
Tickets: https://www.manchestertechfestival.co.uk/mtf2024/
You can ask questions about MTF here, chat to speakers and the core team and share your social profiles to connect with new people
Please use the following link to join the Slack workspace : https://join.slack.com/t/manctechfest/shared_invite/zt-247h3u3o5-impoXEblOl_hRO0~Y~XDOg
We know not everyone is familiar with Slack so we have put together a handy guide to getting started here
See you soon!
MTF is a community driven annual series of events culminating in a two-week long celebration of all things tech in October/November.
Check out our website
This group is so that we can keep the community going all year round!
You should join this Meet-Up if you would like to be notified and be able to RSVP to the upcoming socials, panels, events, meet-ups, conferences, and many more!
Please note that Manchester Tech Festival is an inclusive environment and we prioritise positivity, compassion, community values and gentleness. We are not a salesy/business networking group, rather a group of like minded tech professionals in the city that want something a bit different.
We particularly welcome new people to the city, new people to tech, and new people to the group.
For any questions, please email [email protected]

At MTF we believe that everyone across Greater Manchester should be able to access a career in tech without barriers. That's why, as part of our digital and social inclusion programme, we collect food bank donations at our events. We then work with Manchester City Council and our charity partners who distribute the donations to those who need them most.We appreciate times are hard for everyone, but if you can, we politely ask you to bring a donation for our food bank partners. We are asking for baby food, nappies, infant formula, hygiene wipes, tampons, sanitary pads, halal food and socks. If your religion prevents you from touching or purchasing any of the previous items you are welcome to bring packaged bars of soap.
Your contribution makes a very real difference to the service users that vitally require these items.

Food and Drinks
Food & Drink will be provided during the evening and a selection of soft drinks will also be available. Please email any dietary requirements ahead of the event to [email protected]
