Delivering change in changing times

Conferences don't deliver change. People do.

TechSmart is the annual technology conference for the NFP sector. It brings senior leaders from charities, membership organisations and trade associations into the same room to solve a shared challenge: making tech work for your mission.

This year's programme takes you from the big picture on AI, funding and governance to the real stories from the people and organisations who've already made change happen.

Come to hear what others have learned. Leave knowing what to do next.

Meet our opening keynote speaker

In 2008, Bletchley Park, the site where Alan Turing's team broke the Enigma code, was falling into disrepair. By 2011, a public campaign had secured its funding and its future. That campaign was run by Sue Black, then a computer scientist determined that Britain would not lose one of its most important pieces of technology history.

Dr Sue Black OBE opens TechSmart 2026 with a keynote on AI and where it's taking the sector next. Full session details will follow closer to the event.
