There are a number of great tech events going on in the Manchester area in February. While you're in town, keep your costs low with Manchester airport parking. As always, you should shop online for the best deals and do price by price comparisons.

Consider staying at one of the airport hotels in the area, since most of the events will be nearby. Finally, don't forget holiday insurance as we talked about before, just in case.

Here are some of the tech events were excited about:

GeekUp (Manchester) - Feb 9th:
GeekUp is a grassroots meeting promoting "geekery" in the UK. This meetup knock off meets across the United Kingdom but has strong support in the Manchester area. Certainly a great place to get connected if you're a tech pro or a newbie. GeekUp has regular events in the area.

IET Lecture on Next Generation Networks - Feb 16th:
The Institute of Engineering and Technology does a number of free events and lectures every month. This talk will cover the future of networked technology by phone and computer.

iT Show Case Live (Manchester) - Feb 23rd:
This exhibit will mostly showcase software providers for engineering, design and manufacturing companies. You can contact them to exhibit your business, or just go to learn.

Start Up 2.0 (Northern Ecosystem for Tech Start Up) "Mobile Revisted" - Feb 24th:
This day-long seminar will cover the largest mobile technologies and business. It will be one week after the massive mobile conference in Barcelona and will cover the highlights from that event. (Start Up 2.0 is from by eOffice Manchester and has multiple other events.)
