TechTuesday – October 2026

No fluff. No long winded sales presentations. Just raw, fast-paced insight.

This October, TechTuesday is shaking up the standard format with 10×2 Power Talks – sponsored by Stratos Technology Partners and Nonsuch.

We are challenging our local tech thinkers, builders, and leaders to take the stage with a strict set of rules: 10 slides, automatically changing every 12 seconds, giving each speaker exactly 2 minutes to deliver their message.

It is high-energy, brutal on timekeeping, and guaranteed to be packed with punchy, actionable ideas across software, leadership, hardware, AI, and startup survival.

Want to take the stage?

Got a project you are proud of, a hot take on tech, a hard lesson learned, or an idea that needs sharing? You do not need to be a seasoned keynote speaker – just someone with a passion and 2 minutes to spare.
