BTF+ showed us what’s possible when tech, creativity and culture collide, right here in Bristol.

From thought-provoking panel sessions at The Beacon to two days of hands-on showcases featuring the likes of Black Laboratory, Ohbot – Robots for Creative Thinkers, and Eleria, the festival was a vibrant collision of worlds and ideas.

Highlights included the Bristol debut of Helios by Luke Jerram, a world-first interactive experience Pocket Talks brought to life by MyWorld, Condense and aer studios, and more than 150 community-led events taking place across the city.

Founders, technologists, creatives, investors and culture-makers came together not just to explore what’s next but to shape it. Whether growing a business, launching a big idea, discovering the next trend or spotlighting local brilliance, BTF+ proved that the future isn’t happening somewhere else.

It’s happening here!
