About BTS
Technologies of tomorrow presented today...
The Bristol Technology Showcase (BTS) is focused on emerging technologies and those themes encompassed in the 4th Industrial Revolution with a focus on how they will affect businesses and wider society.
​
A founding event of the Bristol Tech Festival, BTS has run successful events in 2018 and 2019 before taking a break in 2020.
In 2019, BTS ran a headline event at Aerospace Bristol, under the nose of Concorde at its home in Filton, Bristol. Pulling together 35 speakers with global and national recognition and supported by the regional universities, public sector and private sector organisations, BTS brought together one of the strongest line ups of technology, subjects and speakers the region has ever seen.
