About us

The world of technology and business is brimming with ideas, processes, and technology, so much so that it’s impossible to really assess all of them. It’s easy to miss new ideas and opportunities to improve what you’re doing because every day we’re busy doing what we need to do to push forward our organisations.

Transcend Tech is about taking a few minutes to hear from people that have taken very different, sometimes competing, approaches to a challenge, and to learn from their experience, and their reasoning for why they made key decisions.

We want to build a community of open-minded professionals across Leeds that care about pushing the envelope of technology and business.
