Utilising Technology for Business

South Wales' premier meetup for helping business owners understand and utilise technology for their business.

How does the meetup work?

The meetup is created for people just like you, who know that technology is the essential key to grow your business. We meet up once a month to have a drink and chat about the realities of running a business, and the technology that can move you forward.

Find out where you are

Know your technological landscape and identify where your business is lacking. Through open discussions and an honest assessment, you can make an informed choice about what to focus on next.

Learn about specific technologies

Get clear, jargon-free explanations of the tools that are shaping business across the globe. We look at cloud solutions, SAAS products, automation software and explain it all in plain English.

Understand Different Solutions

Compare options side-by-side without a sales person in the room. Understand how various solutions see your problem, solve it, and the real pros and cons from people who have implemented it.

Meet great business owners

Connect with people who also want to better understand the technological landscape. Build relationships that go into the future and find natural synergies with other business owners in South Wales.

Open Source Solutions

Discover powerful, cost-effective alternatives that are free. Learn about tools that rival expensive commercial solutions and how to implement them successfully.

Understand the Impact

See real workflows and results from real businesses. Learn what others have seen after deploying new technology and how to track your own success. Make technology investments with confidence, knowing what to expect.

Why Technology Matters

Traditional businesses have built their success on proven methods and strong relationships. But in today's digital age, technology isn't just optional—it's essential for growth and sustainability.

We understand that adopting new technology can be overwhelming. That's why we focus on solutions that enhance your existing operations without disrupting what already works.
