    Our aim for Tech Talk

    Join us for an exclusive Live Mentoring Session, where you’ll have the unique opportunity to ask seasoned mentors your questions about career growth, skill development, and industry insights right on stage! This interactive event brings together top professionals from various backgrounds, ready to share their experiences, provide guidance, and help you navigate your career path with confidence. Whether you’re looking for advice on breaking into a new industry, advancing in your current role, or overcoming professional challenges, this live Q&A session ensures you get direct, real-time feedback from experts who have been in your shoes. Don’t miss this chance to gain invaluable knowledge and make meaningful connections!

    Tech Talk aims to provide an in-person opportunity for like-minded people to come together with a shared aim in mind, this year being – Growth, development, elevation and tech, of course! We think that face-to-face interaction is better (call us old school), but we want to connect, inspire and empower, within a conversational environment where you can learn from the best. We believe bringing people together into one room provides the best setting for relationship building, and therefore offers the most opportunity for learning and development.

    So this is what you can expect:

    • Live mentoring
    • Tailored Q&As
    • CV workshops
    • A huge opportunity for networking

    Meet our Panelists:

    We’ve gathered some of the best industry leaders to share their experiences and guidance in the interest of helping you take steps to reach your goals!
