Bristol Technology Festival is underway!!

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. Let’s use this day to look at the world differently, help each other, listen to each other and build a strong conversation.

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.

Learn: Today is all about providing opportunities for attendees to connect with other professionals, learn about the latest developments and trends, and gain insights into the future of the industry.

Join Lucy in this session to learn what product market fit is, the steps to validate your product, and how to collect and act on customer feedback.

She’ll talk you through case studies, including the mistakes she’d made in pursuit of this level of growth.

It’s part marketing, part product, part growth… but mainly, it’s about how to embrace the chaos.

The session is designed for the Get Stuff Done person who is looking to learn:

  • What product market fit looks like (and how to realign your expectations)
  • Practical ways to see if your business has reached it
  • How to implement product and marketing steps to optimise growth
