TechConnect
TechConnect - an event to connect, think, drink, and build a better regional tech community based in Swindon and Wiltshire.
Kickstart Your Business Growth in 2026
A practical, people-first session for tech-enabled businesses
2026 is full of possibility, but it can also feel a little… noisy. Growth decisions, technology choices, AI everywhere, and not always a clear sense of where to focus first.
This interactive session is designed to cut through that noise.
We’ll start by taking the pulse of the room using live polls. How are people really feeling about the year ahead? How are businesses thinking about growth? And where does confidence with technology and AI actually sit right now? There’s no pressure to be positive or “ahead of the curve”. Honest answers are the point.
From there, we’ll move into short, facilitated table conversations using prompt cards. You’ll explore where growth currently feels sticky, whether that’s clarity of direction, time and capacity, sales and marketing, financial visibility, people and skills, or the tools and systems you rely on day to day. The focus is sense-making, not problem-dumping.
The second half shifts into action. You’ll identify small, realistic steps that could unlock progress, from simplifying a process, to improving visibility, to testing a low-risk use of technology or AI. Nothing heavy. Nothing theoretical.
You’ll leave with one clear action to take in the next two weeks, and a stronger sense of what growth in 2026 could look like for your business, on your terms.
About this event
Do you work in, or are interested in, the creative, digital or tech space?
If yes, this is the perfect place to meet other like-minded individuals in the Swindon & Wiltshire area.
You could be working in tech, running your own business, or interested in tech, maybe thinking about starting a business.
You might just want to hear what people are working on and up for meeting some great people over a drink and a slice or two of pizza
These events are not networking, they are casual, friendly and inclusive – come along to share ideas, not business cards.
We aim to keep these evenings, fun, light and a great place to get together. See you there!
