Technology is now the key driver if businesses are to be innovative and grow the bottom line.

The North West is a hotbed of digital and technology companies and Insider’s Business of Digital and Technology Conference will hear from some of the most respected names in the sector.

Charles Sharland, chairman and co-founder, Appsense; Lawrence Jones, co-founder and chief executive officer, UKFast; and serial technology entrepreneur Steve Purdham, chairman of 3Rings; will share a stage with the likes of Jonathan Smith, CTO, On The Beach; Richard Hamnett, chief technical officer and co-founder, Response Tap; and James Wilkinson, chief executive officer, Car Loan 4U.

They’re among 17 confirmed speakers who will share their stories about how they have embraced technology to drive their business success and entered new national and international markets.

However there are challenges ahead. Where are the next generation of coders coming from? Are the universities producing work-ready graduates? Should the school curriculum reflect the new digital and technological world in which we live? How can cloud technology, connectivity and big data boost the bottom line? All these issues, and others, will be discussed.

Insider’s Business of Digital and Technology Conference will also be an opportunity to hear from some of the region’s most forward-thinking technology providers about the latest technologies that are available and how they can impact your business.

Why attend?
Hear real examples of how businesses have harnessed technology to grow and learn from some of the region’s leading providers about how technology can help you and your business.
