Technology leadership, architecture and more...

The Architecture and Tech Leadership Social
Presented by Silicon Yorkshire
Real Conversations. Real Community.

Join us for a relaxed evening of drinks, insight, and connection with Yorkshire’s most forward-thinking tech architects, CTOs, and technology leaders.

Whether you’re defining cloud strategy, scaling systems, or just want to meet others who live and breathe technology architecture – this is your room.

What to expect:

  • A guest speaker giving real-world architecture insight
  • Thoughtful networking (no sales)
  • Drinks, conversation, and real value in every chat
  • A community growing across Yorkshire

This isn’t another generic meetup. It’s architecture and technology focused, curated for people who build with intent, and backed by Silicon Yorkshire – the region’s fastest-growing tech community.
