Black Tech Belfast

​Belfast's tech scene is buzzing, but if you're Black and in tech (or curious about getting into it), finding your people here can feel like searching for a signal in the noise. Black Tech Belfast is here to fix that.

​Our first gathering proved what we suspected: the community is here, and it was hungry for a room like this. So we're back, this time as part of Belfast Tech Week, sponsored and hosted by Innovation Factory.

​The shape of the evening: arrivals and networking from 6pm, a warm welcome, an icebreaker that gets the whole room talking in the first twenty minutes, and then our fireside guest: Chantelle Chirimuuta, co-founder of PlugInMove, in an honest conversation about starting out and building a company in Northern Ireland. Open questions from the room after, then time to connect, find mentors and collaborators, and pitch what you're building. You'll also be able to join the Black Tech Belfast WhatsApp community on the night.

​Come as you are. Bring a friend. Bring your questions, your ideas, your CV anxieties, your startup pitch, your "I don't really know what I'm doing yet but I'm interested" energy. All of it belongs here.

​Hosted by Ifedayo, with support from Sellexa.

​This event is part of #BelfastTechWeek - a week of events curated by the tech community, for the tech community.
