TRACK
DAYS
26.10.25 - 4.11.25
Specialised, focussed Conferences
Track Days are focused, single-day conferences that run alongside the main Manchester Tech Festival. Each one is dedicated to a specific theme—such as AI, Cybersecurity, DevOps, or Women in Tech—offering a deep dive into the topics that matter most to our community. Just like our core festival, Track Days deliver the full MTF experience: inspiring talks, thought-provoking panels, interactive breakout sessions, and plenty of opportunities to network with peers and industry leaders.
They’re the perfect complement to the main 2-day conference—think of the core festival as your chance to hear from our headline speakers, get inspired by the big ideas, and soak in the energy of the community. Then hit the Track Days to get your technical fix and drill down into the subjects you’re most passionate about.

Purchase your Tickets
Because Manchester Tech Festival is made up of a number of tech events across the city and you can’t be in two places as once, all of the events are separately ticketed, meaning you can pick and choose the events most relevant to you!
We aim to make our festival as accessible as possible, and charge the minimum amount we can for tickets. That’s why each event is also individually priced.
Included in every ticket is access to the conference you choose, access to our evening social and access to the event app for upto 6 months following the event!
