With that said… What exactly is Manchester Tech Week?
Manchester Tech Week is the North’s biggest digital transformation event, taking place between the 25-29th of April 2022. The event joins IT leaders from some of the most recognised British brands, and looks at providing intel on how to improve connectivity whilst showcasing cutting-edge enterprise technologies.
What can you expect to see?
Manchester Tech Week is anchored by 3 core events, Digital Transformation Expo, Unified Communications Expo and Connected North.
Connected North (25-26 April) is set to kick off the week in style. With 80 speakers and over 500 attendees, Connected North will set the scene with a deep dive into how we can go about enabling the North’s connected future. On day one of this event, attendees will be welcomed to a keynote mayoral panel which will discuss Greater Manchester’s approach to levelling up of digital infrastructure to aid significant competitiveness and encourage investments in the region.
Hot on its heels, Digital Transformation EXPO (27-28 April) is the perfect place for those looking to progress in their business’ digital transformation, offering expert advice on how to make this process stress free. The long running event gives business leaders advice on the key technologies that they should be prioritising NOW, identifying the biggest challenges and opportunities that IT teams are facing at the moment. This year, DTX will have an opening keynote delivered by the footballing legend, Gary Neville, who will be delving into the topic of mental resilience, team strategy and data-driven decision making.
Its co-event, Unified Communications EXPO (UCX) (27-28 April) will hone in on the future of work, the evolution of enterprise communication and how technologies for hybrid working are moving the needle at pace. UCX offers guidance into new approaches to enterprise communications and sessions will offer essential advice and best practice to businesses no matter where they are in their UC strategy.
