Welcome to the Leeds Big Tech Debate! Powered by people.

Hosted by T5 Digital, Barclays Eagle Labs and Avenue HQ – The conversation’s on us!

Tech is full of bold opinions, but how often do we really challenge them?

Leeds Big Tech Debate is a high-energy, interactive session where the audience takes the stage. Together we’ll tackle some of the industry’s most provocative statements, like “AI will replace software engineers” or “The cloud is just someone else’s computer.”

Here’s how it works:

Each table sends a representative to spin the Big Wheel of Topics, revealing a topical theme from one of eight areas including AI, Cloud, DevOps, Process, Data, Culture, Architecture, and Remote Work. Your table will then be randomly assigned a side - For or Against - and given time to prepare your case. Expect fiery (but friendly) debates, quick-fire polls, music, quizzes, pizza, and plenty of laughs.

Whether you're here to flex your debate skills or just soak up the tech chaos, this is one not to miss.

T5 Digital will bring the debtate, AHQ will provide the space, and Barclays Eagle Labs are bringing the food and the drinks.

Stick around after the event for networking at the bar.
