The Northern Ireland Developers Conference (NIDC) 2025, the premier gathering of the region’s tech community, will take place at the ICC Belfast at the Waterfront on November 8th with support from Neil Allen, Centre Director at Innovation Factory and Farset Labs – two West Belfast organisations deeply invested in urban regeneration and social impact initiatives through technology and business startup in areas of economic challenge.
NIDC 2025 brings together a vibrant cross-section of technologists, makers, thought leaders, and curious newcomers, covering the full breadth of the tech landscape: software, product, cloud, data, UX, games, infrastructure, open source, security, hardware, testing, design, AI, and more.
“NIDC is more than just a conference—it’s where the Northern Ireland tech community converges to learn, share and build together,” said Neil Allen, Innovation Factory Centre Director. “We’re proud to be involved with this major event in Belfast, emphasizing both professional growth and community connection.”
