PROGRAMME
The conference title: ‘Roadmap for the Region’s Tech Sector’ will be the central theme for all the sessions across the day. We invited our Dynamo members to curate and deliver sessions for our audience. The sessions will focus on what they feel is important for the region’s tech sector in the next 5 years. What is the biggest challenge for the north east tech sector? What do we need to invest more in to ensure we are a national and international player?
We will be linking the content across the day back to our cluster activity at Dynamo.
