Tech Derby Socials

Tech Derby is a relaxed, people-first meetup for anyone interested in technology, innovation and community in Derby and the wider Midlands.

Each gathering brings together founders, tech professionals, students, career-changers and community leaders to connect, share real stories and explore how we can build a stronger tech ecosystem in Derby – one conversation at a time.

What to expect if you attend:

• Warm, friendly networking – space to meet new people without pressure, swap ideas and build genuine relationships.
• Short talks and fireside-style conversations – practical stories from people building products, growing careers and solving problems with tech.
• Spotlight on local and global-majority talent – especially those bridging the UK, Africa and the wider world.
• Opportunities for students and early-career professionals – find mentors, discover pathways into tech and ask honest questions.
• Community spirit – we care about people as much as we care about code, data or products.

Tech Derby is not a formal conference; it is a growing circle of people who believe Derby can be a place where talent is seen, supported and celebrated.

Whether you are already deep in tech, just getting started, or simply curious, you are welcome. Come, connect, learn and help us write the next chapter of Derby’s tech story.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
