True Worth Tech Talks — Manchester’s Monthly AI & Tech Meetup
Bloc - Bruntwood SciTechManchester, England
Tuesday, Jan 27, 2026 from 4 pm to 6 pm GMT
Overview
Most “AI predictions” are either recycled nonsense or wild hype. This session cuts through the noise.
We’ll walk through what’s actually likely to happen in 2026 — based on real tech trajectories, not wishful thinking. Expect blunt takes, uncomfortable truths, and a few surprises that the mainstream commentators are still missing.
We’ll cover:
- Where enterprise AI is actually heading
- What’s going to break, who gets displaced, and which roles level up
- The shift from tools to autonomous systems
- How Manchester’s tech ecosystem can ride the next wave instead of reacting to it
Perfect for: Engineers, data practitioners, AI builders, product people, and technical leaders who want clarity — not hype.
