From day one of the planning, we wanted our panel on tech ecosystems to stand out.

The panel, including two metro mayors, is packed with experience and external view points to discuss how northern ecosystems can work better, together.

Join the 330+ people who’ve already signed up 👇
Our final speakers for the tech ecosystems panel are Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire, and David Skaith, the first Mayor of York and North Yorkshire.

Both Mayors are keen to strengthen our tech ecosystems across the North for regional innovation and growth.
