Tech Talk

Trafford, Bolton & Oldham

The world is changing pretty fast; this is your opportunity to find out about new products, share your knowledge and question the experts!

What is Tech Talk?

Keep up with the latest tips and news with our monthly Tech Talk group: the perfect opportunity to discuss all things technology!

Tech Talk meet every month to discuss all the new advancements in assistive technology, tech-related news and tips, and cover everything from apps to audio equipment.

All skill and knowledge levels are more than welcome – we have a friendly group of mixed abilities, with both those who are eager to learn and those who’d like to pass on their expertise.
