#siliconyorkshire

Silicon Yorkshire is BACK, and look who’s with us!

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re back – with friends and plenty of benefits.

Silicon Yorkshire is bringing together people across the great and wide Yorkshire technology community – with a mission to ignite conversation, boost networks, connect businesses and unlock value.

Join us for an after-work drink or two.

It’s part of an ongoing event series from the very awesome Silicon Yorkshire.

IT leaders, founders, startups, creative digital entrepreneurs, technology architects, engineers and everyone in-between: if you have an interest in the technological advancement of our region – then please join us for an evening of relaxed networking.

You’ll have a great opportunity to build meaningful relationships with new contacts, reconnect with old friends and be part of building something better, for the whole technology community.

Huge thanks for sponsoring the event to our good friends – Leeds based, Hippo Digital – A high growth, full-service digital consultancy working in the public and private sectors.

“As a home-grown Yorkshire business, we’re excited to be part of the new Silicon Yorkshire technology community, creating a support network of businesses and people within the region to bring the best of what Yorkshire has to offer to the wider community”.

Lara Longhurst
Chief Operations Officer, Hippo Digital
