​Looking ahead to the next 25 years of Manchester tech

​Join us for the Manchester Digital Member Conference 2026, bringing together our community of digital and tech businesses for an afternoon of ideas, insight and connection.

​Over the last 25 years, Manchester Digital and its members have been at the cutting edge of the technologies, businesses and ideas that have driven the growth of Manchester’s tech sector.

​As Manchester Digital celebrates its 25th anniversary, we want to look firmly ahead.

​What is being built here today that will shape the next 25 years? Which ideas, technologies and businesses emerging from our region could have an impact far beyond Manchester?

​MD Members 26 will put those questions at the heart of the conversation.

​Led by voices from across the Manchester Digital community, the conference will explore the technologies, ideas and shifts that could define what comes next for our sector. Expect thought-provoking talks, fresh perspectives and practical insights, alongside plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with fellow members.

​Whether you’ve been part of Manchester Digital for many years or have recently joined the community, the MD Members 26 is an opportunity to hear what others across the ecosystem are working on, discover new ideas and play a part in the conversation about Manchester’s next chapter.

Speakers and agenda coming soon.

​Bring a Tin

​We're encouraging all event attendees to bring a tin of food to donate to Mustard Tree, a Manchester charity supporting people facing poverty and homelessness. It’s a small act that could make a big difference. Donations can also be made on the day.

​Let’s make doing good part of what we do - together, and let’s make kindness part of the culture.
