Games Night!

Something we've observed is that since the Bad-Banana-Bread-Tiger-King-Era, more people are working from home across multiple locations and being separated from your team physically can be difficult. Lot's of folks are still talking about being a bit lonely or not really having that face to face connection that is so needed.

We think that community and collaboration is the key to tackling loneliness and isolation so we had an idea...

As part of the social events that surround Manchester Tech Festival we’ll be having a monthly games night, an evening where you can connect with the tech community in a relaxed social environment,

Join us to play a variety of games such as:

• Monopoly
• Charades
• Pictionary
• D&D
• Various animal-themed bingo
• Card games
• Even the odd quiz with prizes!
• There is also a PlayStation in the Comfy Nook which you are welcome to play and bring games for
• (If anyone wants to play Cards Against Humanity then you are allowed to but we take 0 responsibility for any offence taken as that game gets feral)

This will be especially welcoming toward Neurodiverse folks or those who experience anxiety or a safe, calm and comfortable environment.

Bring your own snacks, maybe we’ll order some pizzas, and soft drinks are the idea.

(If you’d like to enjoy a quiet IPA no one will stop you but please be aware this is not an alcohol themed event).

If you are introverted or shy but would still like to feel part of it, you are more than welcome to turn up, play on your phone in the corner or just watch for the first few. There will be no pressure, no shame, no judgement.

This is a warm safe space for the community to enjoy some wholesome fun! Feel free to bring a friend :)

Huge thank you to the lovely folks at DiSH for providing us with the space to do this – without them this wouldn’t be possible <3

Huge thanks to the MTF 2023 Sponsors for providing the snacks and drinks :) www.manchestertechfestival.co.uk
