Top tech conferences: The ultimate tech events and show guide for 2021

With the pandemic proving more stubborn than any of us hoped, many of the largest events and conferences will likely take place online again this year. Others have been pushed back to the summer, in the hope coronavirus will have subsided.

Either way, these are the places where wheelers and dealers in the world of technology meet to present new innovations and exchange ideas.

TechRadar Pro and ITProPortal have joined forces with the B2B tech PR industry to curate a list of national and international technology events and conferences.
