👋, I'm Simon.

Building at the intersection of technology, events and people

I'm a founder, event strategist, product builder and operator based in Belfast, working across the UK, US and Middle East.

I founded Belfast Tech Week and Dept. of Events. I'm building Backchannel, an AI-powered concierge for event attendees, and Socialogica., a conversational transformation studio. I'm also COO of Hamptons Tech Week.

Before that, I spent time in event operations at Digital DNA, working across conference and trade-show formats — the kind of work that teaches you how much of a great event is invisible.

Good events and good products have the same job: help the right people find each other.

How I work

• Operator first — I like owning the details.
• Build the smallest useful thing, then improve it in public.
• Communities outlast campaigns.
