THE WEST MIDLANDS TECH REVIEW
CELEBRATE THE REGION BEING NAMED THE UK’S FASTEST GROWING TECH SECTOR AND DISCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY
The West Midlands is the place to be right now for tech and digital, we are officially the fastest-growing tech economy in the UK with the region set to add £2.7 billion to the economy by 2025 and create an extra 52,000 tech roles.
The event will be held at the majestic Great Hall and will see 500 tech leaders come together for networking over drinks and canapés, inspirational talks and new opportunities.
The event will also launch the region’s Tech Review, a report which will highlight our key successes and look ahead to a future full of exciting opportunities.
JOIN 500 TECH LEADERS
We’ll be joined by investors, tech founders and digital leaders representing some of the most innovative companies
COLLABORATE & NETWORK
We were founded to encourage and foster an environment of collaboration across the West Midlands Tech Sector, and this founding-value is still at the centre of everything we do. This event is an opportunity for us all to come together and to form strong partnerships that will enable the region to realise its potential.
“There has recently been a resurgence in confidence and the growth in collaboration across the community. This has led to a perceived upward swing in optimism and confidence with Birmingham Tech acting as a catalyst.”

THE GREAT HALL
This Grade II-listed red-brick hall was built in 1900, and has welcomed thousands of people across the decades.
It inspires delegates and visitors alike as one of the University of Birmingham’s accredited Venues of Excellence, with a trompe l’oeil domed ceiling above its formal marble entrance, and a noteworthy sense of space.
