TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP SOCIAL
Built better
The Tech Leadership Social:
Presented by Silicon Yorkshire
Real Conversations. Real Community. Strictly no sales.
Join us for another evening of drinks, insight, and connection with Yorkshire’s most forward-thinking technology leaders.
Whether you’re defining cloud strategy, scaling systems, or just want to meet peers in a relaxed and sales-free environment – this is your room.
Speakers
CIO-Office : Roy Irvine, CEO
DSP: Simon Greenwood, Development Services Director
What to expect:
Thoughtful networking (absolutely no selling)
Drinks, conversation, and real value in every chat
A technology community growing across Yorkshire
This isn’t another generic meet-up.
It’s technology leadership focused and curated for people who build with intent, and backed by Silicon Yorkshire – the region’s fastest-growing tech community.
Please note: attendance criteria apply.
If you’re not in a tech role, please do not register.
We love you very much, but sometimes we want a curated audience.
