Humber Tech Fest 2026

This is an opportunity to explore the space, connect with the wider tech community, see the projects currently being built and join the various events, panel discussions and talks throughout the day.

What to expect:

The Marketplace: The ground floor will host exhibitors from our own community, the wider Hull and East Riding region, and founders from across the Barclays Eagle Labs North East network. It is a chance to speak directly with the people behind these businesses and see how their tech could really work for your business.

Scheduled Sessions: We have a full programme including an Apprenticeships event with Barclays, Hull City Council and GW Power. We will also host a couple of fireside chats with major local industry leaders, and a Cyber Security session.

Networking Lunch: A standing lunch will be held in the ground floor kitchen space. Giving you 30 minutes to eat good food sourced locally and network with other attendees and speakers.

Workspace & Tours: Our team will be available to show you the offices that are currently available and our various meeting rooms and our new podcast studio. You can also learn about the C4DI Academy and how we educate young people ages 7 – 24 in the importance of digital and entrepreneurship through peer-to-peer support to grow and retain talent in our region.

Member Benefits: All attendees will receive a voucher for a free coworking day and a discount on a future meeting room booking.
