Welcome to The SPARKies Awards!

The SPARKies will be back October 14th, at 7pm. Tickets on sale now below!👇 This year we're back in Bristol and will be meeting in person! 

There are 17 categories representing the brilliance of the tech scene in the West up for grabs. We're celebrating the entire local tech spectrum - including those wonderful people and companies that work tirelessly to support and grow the cluster.

Buy Tickets

The SPARKies is a not-for-profit event with any surplus reinvested into the community. 

We purposefully price tickets as low as possible to enable as many people across the community to attend as possible. For your ticket price you get a drink on arrival, 3 x drinks tokens, a street food voucher and access to the awards.

We have a SPARKies ticket bursary for people who are underrepresented in the community or can't afford to attend. Drop us a note at hello@techspark.co 

The Venue

We'll be bringing the best tech in the west to The Showroom on Bath Road.

The space is a new studio, formerly a garage and car showroom. We'll be transforming it for the night in true SPARKies style, before handing the studio back over to Netflix who'll be filming their latest production there.

The Showroom will be kitted out with indoor space for the awards and a large outdoor space for our  drinks reception and street food market, including Jafra Kitchen, Pizza Rova and LOKI POKÉ. Watch out for fairy lights,  fire pits and our Expresso Martini bar!
