A review and the next step…
100’s of events, 1000’s of attendees, a host of incredible moments and some great lessons for next year.
BTF+ was designed in response to the community. A desire to further put this region on the map, to draw people here, to shout more loudly about the amazing things that happen here, especially in the space where tech, creativity and culture collide.
We had inspiring speakers with panel after panel of brilliant insights and discussions, pioneering tech including a world-first with Pocket Talks, and captivating artists, a highlight being the Bristol debut of Luke Jerram’s Helios at the Cathedral. The success of these will guide how the festival looks in 2026.
