Manchester — Week of 31 Aug 2026

AIoT Hub Manchester (formerly IoT North) presents Clifford Agius on 'Moti-Me' — an IoT-powered therapeutic device paired with a mobile app that turns structured physiotherapy into engaging, child-friendly activities. Clifford walks through the .NET MAUI architecture, Bluetooth communication with the device controller, how activities are tracked and fed back to clinicians and families, and the GitHub Actions build-and-deploy pipeline for Android and iOS. A three-time Microsoft MVP (Developer Technologies & IoT) and airline pilot by day, Clifford is a regular international speaker. A practical session for .NET developers, IoT builders and anyone interested in healthtech. Runs online via livestream.

A recurring themed networking evening from Network One, this edition for healthtech.

Manchester's Swift, iOS and Mac developer group runs a Shipaton build night with RevenueCat — bring an app idea and ship something by the end of the evening.

A recurring paid-bar networking evening at The Anthologist for the Manchester tech scene.

A paid one-day professional course on generative AI in organisational and societal contexts.

A small recurring founder meet-up at 10 Tib Lane.

An online session from the Manchester Data Platform User Group.

An informal evening from the Manchester Blockchain Alliance — no talks, just the city's Web3 and crypto community in one room. Consistently one of the better-attended socials in the north.

A lot of what people are building with AI comes down to conversations — chat, voice, messaging. Hosted by Twilio, this Builder Community Meetup brings Manchester's developers, tech leads and founders together to dig into what conversational and agentic AI means in practice. Expect tech talks from Darragh O'Connor and the local builder community, plus a session from the Twilio team on conversational AI, followed by food, drinks and plenty of time to network and see what others are building. Friendly crowd, all welcome — whether you're building with AI or just keen to see where it's heading.

An introductory AI session for very small businesses. Venue confirmed to registrants.
