tech talk

Digital industry lingo

Tech talk is conversation heavy with technical jargon, especially about computers, software, or engineering: Sorry for all the tech talk—I'll explain in plain English.

The term can also mean a presentation or lecture on a technical topic, typically at conferences or within companies: She's giving a tech talk on machine learning next week.
