Now in its eighth year, London Tech Week, owned by Informa Tech Founders and London & Partners, and co-founded with Tech London Advocates, powers 365 days of conversation that connects international tech communities and leaders to address how access to tech can have a profoundly positive impact in society and business.<\/p>\n

In September 2020, we hosted an incredible 20,000+ attendees<\/strong> from across the globe for our first ever virtual London Tech Week. Tackling the most pressing topics of today through over 700 sessions<\/strong>, we boasted an unrivalled line up of 750+ speakers <\/strong>from across business, government and tech \u2013 from CEOs of large corporates, to founders of agile startups, to change-makers within society.<\/p>\n

The mission is to build a better, more inclusive digital world by bringing together the world\u2019s most inspirational founders, global leaders, senior investors and disruptive rising stars to collaborate and discuss the vital role of technology on society, and address challenges from bridging the digital divide to battling the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

London Tech Week is proud to feature the most influential tech leaders in the industry that provide insight, knowledge and spark debate at the festival. Previous speakers include Government Ministers from Theresa May to Matt Hancock who use London Tech Week as a platform to announce policy, as well as technology champions including Eric Schmidt, Hilary Clinton, Matthew Gould and Martha Lane Fox to name a few!<\/p>\n
