TechUG is an independent user group community for IT Professionals. Run for users, by users, we’re a enterprise tech community focused on Technology Change & modernising IT Infrastructure.. The tech communities are user driven and run locally in 9 cities around the UK & Ireland. Each city has a group of volunteer committee members supported by a central team. Together, the committee organises and hosts our free community events. TechUG Events take place twice a year in each city (so we’re currently running 18 events a year). As a community, TechUG collaborates with other user groups, supporting them as they get started or co-hosting joint events.
TechUG community events are run as full day conferences, with up to three tracks of content. They’re run like a proper conference, everyone gets a badge, there are refreshments, a hot lunch and the ‘infamous’ geek out at the bar session at the end of every event. All events are free to attend, the community works with sponsors who essentially pay for the hotels, food and refreshments.
What we do…
As an industry leader of user groups, we hold many local events throughout the year. We focus on creating buzzing local communities. The events are places where like-minded IT professionals can meet up, hear about the latest developments and technologies in their field. They can network with local peers, hear from experts and learn at themed tech community events.
TechUG is Community First
To help facilitate networking and knowledge exchange, we’ve developed a community networking app (like a private version of Slack). All community members have access to the TechUG App which has some great features, These include a live calendar, instant messaging, group communications and a member directory.
With the help of our community sponsors, all TechUG community events are free to attend and include refreshments, a hot lunch and networking drinks.
