About DTX Manchester
DTX Manchester brings enterprise technology and business transformation to the North of England. Organised by Clarion Events, it is positioned as the region's leading event for technology leaders working across cloud, data, AI and cyber security, and it forms part of the city's Manchester Tech Week.
The show runs alongside Unified Communications Expo (UCX), which adds telephony, collaboration and contact centre technology to the floor. Between them, the two events cover IT infrastructure and cloud, cyber security, the digital workplace, data and automation, software development and DevOps, customer experience and unified communications.
Visitors are senior and technical: IT directors, heads of digital, architects, engineers and transformation leads from private companies and public sector bodies across the North. Many arrive with live projects and are looking for suppliers and practical case studies rather than general inspiration. Speakers from organisations such as NatWest, Mott MacDonald and the British Red Cross have featured in past programmes, giving the content a grounded, user led tone.
For suppliers, the appeal is reaching organisations outside London without competing against the volume of the capital's larger tech shows. Regional partners including Manchester Digital and techUK support the event, and the two day format keeps the audience concentrated, which suits companies that want focused conversations with a defined regional market.

DTX Manchester 2027: what to expect
DTX Manchester 2027 is set for 28 and 29 April at Manchester Central, co-located with UCX and running as part of Manchester Tech Week. Doors open at 9:30 on both days, closing at 17:30 on the Wednesday and 16:30 on the Thursday.
With only two days, the strongest stands make their use case clear from the aisle and keep space for short one to one conversations rather than large displays. Live cloud and security demos need a dependable connection, so order power and internet from the venue in good time. Manchester Central's loading and access arrangements are worth confirming with your contractor early, as city centre deliveries run to tight slots.
