News & Events

Sync the City is a 54 Hour event (inspired by StartupWeekend) that brings together budding entrepreneurs and expert mentors to build and launch a startup in 54 Hours.

For a flavour of last year, please see the 2018 Showreel here.

Looks amazing right?

During the event we put together 12 teams from the audience of both professional and students, each team will have skills in Mobile and Web Development, UX and Graphic design, Business & Marketing.

The teams will work for 54 hours to build their own digital business startup from scratch!  We have mentors on hand to guide you through the structure process.  The finale will be your team pitching your business (for fun or for profit) in front of  the public and 5 expert judges .  The winning team receiving £3,000 cash, the peoples choice £1,000 (voted by audience).  You can see previous videos here.

You never know, you may witness the birth of next Facebook or Amazon or we might discover the next Elon Musk or Steve Jobs, so don’t miss out!  Also, students it’s the perfect experience to put on your CV (thats if you don’t get hired at the event!).

Anybody and everybody is welcome to attend, you don’t have to have technical skills, you can be a budding entrepreneur with a great idea, a developer, software engineer, business manager, marketing guru, graphic artist, data scientist, or anybody who likes to muck in, then sign up!

Again, if you don’t know anything about technology, but you have a problem at work in which you think technology could solve it, then grab a Non Technical ticket and come along.  We have had Black Cab drivers, Surgeons and all kinds of people in previous events.

Come boost your confidence, change the world, network, make friends, learn a whole bunch, or simply experience what it’s like to work in a digital business or tech startup for 3 days!
