Cranmore's Great Big Tech Quiz of the Year for Action for Children, powered by Software NI

The Great Big Tech Quiz of the Year is designed to be a flagship community event that we would like to see become part of Belfast Tech Week, bringing together professionals from across Northern Ireland’s technology ecosystem, including the private sector, education sector, third sector, and public sector. Organised by a volunteer committee comprising representatives from Software NI, Cranmore Consulting, Action for Children, and other leading voices from across the local technology community, the event provides a fun, inclusive, and engaging environment for networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. Combining friendly competition with fundraising, the quiz celebrates the strength, diversity, and achievements of Northern Ireland’s thriving tech sector while creating opportunities to build new relationships, strengthen existing connections, support a worthy charitable cause, and further reinforce Belfast and Northern Ireland’s reputation as a vibrant, innovative, and collaborative technology hub. To help move things forward, we have already spoken with Haymarket Belfast and have provisionally reserved Tuesday 22nd September as a potential event date. We would be delighted to discuss the concept further and would ideally welcome representation from the Belfast Tech Week team on the organising committee to help shape and grow the event as part of the wider Belfast Tech Week programme.

Belfast Tech Week Wrap-Up

After a full week of talks, workshops and meetups, come and close out Belfast Tech Week with us. The Wrap-Up is an informal social to mark the end of the week, catch up with the people you met along the way, and have the conversations there wasn't time for between sessions. Expect a relaxed couple of hours, a few drinks, and good company from right across the Belfast tech community. No agenda, no slides, no pitches. Just the community in one room before everyone heads into the weekend.
