Today is the last day of Bristol Technology Festival!!
Supported by our headline partner, Ghyston, an award-winning UK software company, the festival will be taking place from 7 – 11 October 2024 in various locations across our vibrant city. As usual, connecting people and sharing knowledge will be at the core of the Festival.
In case you need refreshing, the five themes are:
Impact:The Impact we make as individuals, businesses and as a sector is catalysing technological innovations across industries. From sustainability and green initiatives to talent and retention, our Impact is transforming the way we live and work. What can we do today for a better tomorrow? Today we bring the week together into the how – and what the next steps are for us all.
Experience: In partnership with AND Digital, Experience Day is all about the end-users using our products. We are a tech community built around collaboration, bringing ideas and passions together.

Scale: We will highlight critical areas such as funding, and the importance of future-proofing our business in an ever-changing climate.
Creative: In partnership with Aer Studios, Bristol Creative Industries & MyWorld. Technology is nothing without the story – we are a city of creatives, how has the story changed, our relationship with audiences and how will we engage in the future online and in-person? Let’s use today to share our visions, showcase solutions and be creative.

There’s a growing skills gap in the technology & engineering industry. Fewer young people are looking to pursue careers in this space with increasing barriers to entry and a lack of easily accessible information regarding the kinds of careers available. With the rise of new technologies, the skills that the workforce requires are evolving and the need for greater discourse between educators and employers to identify these needs is growing.
This panel, hosted as a part of Bristol Technology Festival, will discuss the skills gap and what organisations can do to support and encourage young people into STEM careers. It will also look at how the future of digital industries will require a generation of highly talented young people from all backgrounds.
