TechABreak Technology Conference 2026

This year’s TechABreak Technology Conference will take place from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th September 2026. We will be returning to the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate.
With so many recent and upcoming innovations, TechABreak 2026 will have a wealth of exciting developments to share with you. In our ever popular presentations, we will delve into the expanding range of wearable technologies, share the latest innovations in tech for mobility and navigation, and showcase the range of options in the world of Smart TVs and streaming.
On Saturday afternoon you will have the opportunity to get hands-on with products at our exhibition and we’ll be there to answer questions in our Tech Surgery. We will help you get the most from AI tools in a Masterclass Live session, and as TechABreak is in late summer, why not take the opportunity to visit the nearby Valley Gardens or Bettys Tea Room. Above all, it is a great opportunity to catch up with fellow members and access the latest in tech.
Here is some of the great feedback we had from last year’s conference:
“The networking was fantastic, it was a lovely location, and the sessions were really informative. It provided an opportunity for people with similar interests and energy to get together and continue to share and support each other at a time when technology is changing ever more quickly.”
“I just love the event. It was great to meet up with old friends and make new ones who are all interested in technology. Sharing tips on a one-to-one or more formal basis is really helpful no matter what our age and experience. There’s nothing quite like TechABreak in my year.”
To be sure of a place, advanced bookings need to be made by Sunday 8th February 2026. Advanced bookings benefit from a TAVIP subsidy and you will only need to pay a £50 per person deposit, with the final payment due by 19th June. The advanced rate is £296 for a single and £506 for a double or twin room. These prices include your accommodation, meals and the conference programme from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime. We will also have a limited number of day passes at £42 for the weekend or £70 if you would also like to join us for a Sunday lunch. A number of people have enjoyed staying for Sunday evening as well and we can help you arrange that with the hotel.
Bookings made after 8th February won’t be eligible for the subsidy and you will need to make the full payment when booking. The price may also increase due to hotel room rates and places may not be available. We do need sufficient bookings by 8th February to go ahead with the event, so if you are planning to come, please book before the deadline.
The 2025 TechABreak event was a great success, and we look forward to seeing many of you again in September. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mark Owen at mowen@tavip.org.uk.
