Dr Diarmuid O’Brien, Chief Executive, Cambridge Enterprise says: “I know first-hand what Cambridge has to offer, both within the UK tech landscape and globally. I’m delighted to support the inaugural Cambridge Tech Week and am looking forward to being inspired by the next generation of innovative technologies.”
The CTW CONVERSATIONS, or Fringe events, are intended to provide an opportunity to bring together the tech community from across the city and beyond. Cambridge stakeholders will leverage the CORE events power to bring people to them, with creative and engaging smaller scale/intimate sessions and socials to enhance their overall exposure to the ecosystem.
These fringe events are featured on the CTW23 official website, but organised by individuals, networks and organisations around topics of specific interest – from STEM activities for families, to discussions around automation, the future of work and tech bias, to skills-based bootcamps and masterclasses.
Here are the events, taking place at a variety of locations around Cambridge. Check the website for all the timings and venues and to register your place.
