BelTech, the most important platform for Northern Ireland’s technologists, returns in March and is extending its reach into our growing tech community.

The early Spring conference offers all tech practitioners their day in the sun, and the opportunity to learn from and network with a highly influential audience.

Whether an old hand in the tech sector or a budding new talent, BelTech has a place for everyone with an invitation totechnologists from all backgrounds to join us for a full day of talks and discussions on March 7th. With a key tenet of our conference the celebration of diversity and difference, the BelTech platform is open to all – and we want to see you there.

Our inclusive and participatory approach means gathering our technologists together, getting out from behind our screens to rekindle the fire in the tech community.

There is no doubt that ‘community’ is at the heart of the tech eco-system. Connections, conversations – and yes, conferences – thrive on the personal as does the cross-fertilization of ideas which feeds our innovation.

BelTech 2024 will continue to lead the way in gathering, informing, and inspiring the leading technology practitioners of today and of the future. To be sure you’re part of the journey grab a ticket and join us as we examine the following themes:

Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Within the last 12 months, the capabilities of AI have advanced exponentially. Generative AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence. What are engineers doing on the ground now and how have they leveraged new capabilities? This track will include talks exploring practical applications, ethics, cyber security, and sustainability/environmental considerations.

Developer Experience

With tech accelerators such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer and low code solutions becoming more commonly used, how is the developer and architect experience evolving? We’ll discuss what next-generation software development looks like.

Trust Architecture and Digital Identity

Secure-by-design software systems and shift-left security are becoming increasingly important. Embedding these practices can be crucial to a business’s survival. These talks are aimed at developers and architects applying these best practices to secure software against cybersecurity threats.
