What is Byte Night?

Byte Night is the IT industry’s annual sleep out in support of Action for Children. Each year hundreds of individuals and teams from across the IT and business community spend a night exposed to the elements in a bid to raise sponsorship and awareness of Action for Children’s work.

It all began 12 years ago when 30 individuals from the IT industry slept out and raised £35,000. Since then the event has grown to over 700 sleepers raising almost £550,000 in 2009 alone. Patrons, sponsors and sleepers include celebrities and leading figures, CIOs, systems developers, business managers, marketers and more.

Look who’s sleeping too

Every year, hundreds of individuals and teams representing some of the UK’s biggest companies return to take part in Byte Night. This year you can join them and help change the course of young lives.

You’ll be supporting a worthwhile cause and spend an enjoyable evening networking with colleagues and clients past and present.

You can participate as either an individual or with your own team. All we ask is that you raise a minimum level of sponsorship. Joining you will be CIOs and company sponsored teams as well as individuals from the local business and IT community.
