the full listing

Last year we ran TechTalk Connect and it sold out in under a week. So this year, we doubled the room. On 15th September, 300+ tech professionals will take over one of the City of London's best rooms for a single evening - and one question: Getting hired was the 2025 conversation. Getting promoted, getting visible, and getting paid more is the harder game - especially in a year where AI does more of the actual execution than ever. That's the night. Not "how to survive AI." How to build the edge that AI can't touch: your reputation, your relationships, and the moves that actually get you seen, promoted and paid. WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR? โœ… Tech professionals - marketing, sales, engineering, product, GTM - who want to grow, not just stay employed โœ… Anyone navigating career moves in a market that's changing fast โœ… People who get more out of a room than a webinar โœ… Founders and leaders who want to be around sharp people WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND This isn't just another networking event. Connect 2026 is designed to give you a real, tangible edge in a fast-changing market. Understand what's actually happening to hiring, promotion and pay. Cut through the noise and hear it from the people living it - including where humans still win. Build the edge AI can't touch. Reputation, positioning, relationships, and the visibility that gets you picked for the role, the project and the raise. Meet people who can change your trajectory. Not business-card swapping - people who can hire you, refer you, promote you, or build with you. The part you'll never get from a replay. Leave with a plan, not a pep talk. Concrete moves for your next role, your next promotion, or your next pay conversation.
