DTX Manchester 2027 at Manchester Central — where to stay

DTX Manchester returns to Manchester Central on 28–29 April 2027 as the North's largest enterprise IT gathering. Across two days, the event brings together senior technology leaders, operations teams and vendors working on the real building blocks of digital transformation: IT infrastructure, cloud, cyber security, digital workplace, data and AI, software development, customer experience and unified communications. Co-located with Unified Communication EXPO (UCX), a single badge gives access to both shows and to the full technology stack they cover. Expect a mix of keynote sessions, educational seminars, live demos and 100+ exhibitors presenting solutions you can actually put to work — from AI and automation to cyber resilience and collaboration platforms. The programme is built around practical outcomes rather than hype: sourcing technologies that fit your strategy, breaking down silos between teams, and turning investment into measurable operational and customer results. It's a working event for people who are rolling out change, not just talking about it. Manchester Tech Week runs alongside the show, so the city itself becomes part of the experience. Entry is free for visitors; the venue sits in the heart of Manchester within easy reach of the main hotel and transport hubs.
