Manchester Tech Festival 25 | Core Conference Business

The festival kicks off with our flagship two-day Core Conference, hosted in the stunning surroundings of Victoria Baths.

From world-class keynote speakers to grassroots community sessions, MTF celebrates the diversity, talent, and innovation of Manchester’s tech scene — while connecting it with national and global voices.

The festival kicks off with our flagship two-day Core Conference, hosted in the stunning surroundings of Victoria Baths, a Grade II-listed heritage venue turned into one of the most unique tech spaces in the UK.

This year’s main stage will be headlined by:
• Ron Thompson – Former Chief Data Officer at NASA, flying in from Washington D.C. to share insights on data strategy, AI and innovation at scale.
• Orlando Machado – Chief Data Officer at LEGO Group, bringing practical expertise on how one of the world’s most beloved brands is leveraging data to stay ahead.

Together, they headline a world-class keynote line-up bringing global perspectives in data, AI, and digital transformation to the heart of Manchester.

But it’s not just about listening — it’s about doing.

• The Tech Expo will feature over 20 local and national tech companies, giving attendees the chance to connect with potential employers, discover new innovations, and explore tools that could transform your business.
• New for 2025, we’re introducing hands-on workshops across a range of tech topics — from immersive technology and creative tools to product design and data analytics.
• Don’t miss our Innovation Showcase, where you can get up close with emerging technologies across sectors including EdTech, CreaTech, MedTech, AgriTech, and more.

Whether you're looking for inspiration, opportunities, or new ideas — the Core Conference has it covered
