Grey Matter Tech Summit
24 September 2025 | Prospero House, London
Prospero House, 241 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1GA
Why attend?
Our yearly Tech Summit (formerly known as ISV Partner Day) is a community event designed to bring together like-minded innovators to hear about the latest technologies from industry experts.
The focus is on creating an inspiring environment for businesses developing software applications and SaaS solutions. So you can learn more about hot topics like FinOps as part of Azure's centre of excellence, application security, and application modernisation. As well as share your challenges, successes, and aspirations. The best part is - it's free to attend.
Agenda
There are ten sessions on offer over the course of the day. You can mix and match which you attend across the two tracks to suit your interests. Whether it's secure coding with GitHub Copilot, rapid application development, Azure FinOps or building a cybersecurity framework.
We'll be announcing the full agenda this Summer.
