Since 2020, we've convened thousands of technologists, creatives, academics and cultural icons around innovation, culture and identity.

Our belief is that tech is at intersection of culture and identity. In 2020, we brought together thousands during Covid to celebrate the diversity that exists within the tech ecosystem both as talent and as leaders shaping the industry. Fast forward, and we're now one of the largest tech events having convened 30,000 in 5 years.

BTF is produced by UK nonprofit Colorintech.
