London community tech event
Building with AI, Breaking into Tech
A community tech event for people curious about AI, careers and building useful things.
- Date
- Friday 4 July
- Venue
- The Leather Market, London SE1
What is TechNeeks?
A third place for learning, building and connection.
TechNeeks is a community-led tech collective creating third places for people interested in technology, AI and social impact.
We bring together builders, creatives, career switchers, students and early-career professionals to learn, connect and work on practical ideas for real communities.
Why this exists
Technology shapes our work, culture, businesses and communities.
But too often, the people most affected by technology are not the ones building it.
TechNeeks exists to change that.
We create spaces where people from underrepresented communities can learn the tools, build confidence, meet others and solve problems around them.
