On the 27th October 2026, join a vibrant mix of business professionals, technologists, students, and entrepreneurs from across NI and Ireland at the Millennium Forum in Derry~Londonderry for TechTides, the must-attend tech conference in Northern Ireland.
Now in its latest edition, TechTides brings together the people shaping the region's digital future for a full day of talks, pitches, and conversation. Expect honest insight from founders who've built real companies, technologists working at the edge of AI, cybersecurity, and software development, and business leaders navigating what technology means for their industries. This isn't a conference full of buzzwords and big promises — it's a chance to hear how things actually get built, what's working, what isn't, and where the opportunities lie for businesses and individuals across the North West and beyond.
Across the day, attendees can expect keynote sessions from leading voices in tech, panel discussions tackling the real challenges facing the sector, and a pitch session showcasing some of the region's most promising early-stage companies as they put their ideas in front of investors, peers, and potential partners. Wander the exhibitor space between sessions to meet the businesses, start-ups, and organisations driving innovation across Northern Ireland, and take the chance to see their work up close and start a conversation.
TechTides has grown into a genuine gathering point for Northern Ireland's tech community, drawing students taking their first steps into the industry alongside seasoned entrepreneurs and established businesses looking to stay ahead of the curve. Whatever stage you're at, there's something here worth your time.
The Millennium Forum's setting in the heart of Derry~Londonderry adds to the day, putting the conference right in the middle of a city with its own growing reputation as a place where good ideas get made. Tickets are limited, so early booking is recommended for anyone keen to be part of the conversation shaping technology in this region.
