Black Tech Fest is a movement that takes the form of a virtual three-day festival to celebrate Black culture, showcase innovation and create pathways for underrepresented talent.

Set in October, UK’s Black History Month, BTF will convene 6,000 attendees online across three anchor tracks – Belonging, C:code and Showcase. Black Tech Fest exists to inspire and create space for powerful conversations around technology, inclusion and innovation.

Black Tech Fest was created to inspire, challenge and celebrate. BTF is much more than a moment in time but a commitment to drive action and change for diversity, equity and innovation.
