TechNExt, a celebration of the North East's thriving technology sector - will span five days in June, bringing together thousands of attendees who will share ideas, learn from one another and celebrate a sector that is thriving in the region.

Taking place between June 16 and 20, TechNExt will feature everything from curated showcases to community-led fringe events, displaying the diversity, achievements, and innovation of the North East's tech scene. 

The event - hosted by a partnership of North East businesses and stakeholders working collaboratively, and led by Dynamo North East CIC and Sunderland Software City working with BeaconHouse Events - is now in its third year, providing an opportunity for the region's tech community to come together and share best practice.

This year's programme has been fine-tuned based on feedback from attendees in 2024, with the major change to the festival being the creation of 'hubs' where a range of events and sessions will be held in the same location across each day, to allow people to attend more events across the course of the week.

Organisers are calling for organisations in the region's tech sector to pledge their support and get behind the festival by freeing up their team to engage and attend the TechNExt's events and activities.
