Tech Events by Data Decoded

A two-day data and AI conference and exhibition at Manchester Central, built around implementation: how organisations are actually delivering data and AI projects at scale. Five theatres cover leadership and strategy; AI, analytics and intelligence; data governance, risk and compliance; architecture, platforms and infrastructure; and data engineering, integration and automation. Around 40 vendors and start-ups exhibit, and community meetups, including PyData Manchester and the Fabric & Power BI user group, take over theatres on the Tuesday evening. Tuesday 13 October runs 09:00 to 17:30, Wednesday 14 October 09:00 to 16:45. Visitor registration is free and covers the theatres, exhibition, meetups and the Tuesday afterparty at Junction, 17:30 to 20:30. Hands-on workshops are ticketed separately. Why go: around 3,000 data and AI practitioners under one roof for free, with an evening of community meetups attached. Best for data leaders, engineers and analysts who want to compare delivery notes with peers.
