The SPARKies 2026

Please note: St George’s Bristol does not have a cloakroom or secure storage for bags or personal belongings. We encourage you not to bring bags where possible. If you do bring one, you’ll need to keep it with you throughout the event.

The SPARKies is back! We’re once again celebrating the very best people, products and companies that make the tech scene in Bristol, Bath and the wider West of England so exceptional.

With 18 award categories, we’re shining a light across the entire tech spectrum. From game-changing startups to ambitious scale-ups, tech for good pioneers, and the brilliant individuals who power our ecosystem.

🎟️ Making the event accessible: We keep ticket prices low for startups and freelancers to ensure everyone in our community can join the celebration. If you’re from a larger company, recruitment firm or professional services organisation, we’d still love to see you. Please grab a “Recruiter, Professional Services & Large Company” ticket.

🍽️ What’s included?

🍹 A welcome drink + three drink tokens
🍬 Pre-awards treats
