And the appeal and timeliness of the event has already been confirmed by the decision of PwC – which employs almost a quarter of a million people globally – to sponsor the AI, Machine Learning & Business Insights Theatre.
Steve Mills, PwC data and analytics director for the North, said: “We’re delighted to be part of Tech Show North. It promises to be the North’s biggest and best conference in 2019, tailor-made for our growing and thriving technology community.
“Whether you’re a start-up looking to make new connections, or a mature organisation looking to modernise your processes – there’ll be lots to see and do across the two days.
“We’re excited to be hosting a series of keynotes, panels and presentations at our AI, Machine Learning and Business Insight Theatre alongside local businesses and PwC clients. During our sessions we’ll share how we’re using business understanding, technology innovation and human insight to help solve important problems, inform important decision making, meet human needs and make a difference to society.”
Sponsored by UKFast and delivered by Prolific North and Don’t Panic, Tech Show North is expected to attract up to 3,000 visitors and over 120 exhibitors.
Lawrence Jones MBE, CEO of cloud hosting brand UKFast, the event’s lead sponsor, said: “I have long said that we’re in the midst of an industrious revolution, so to hear Tech Show North describe how the North of England is driving the fourth industrial revolution is music to my ears!
“I am proud to back an event that showcases the extraordinary technical talent of Manchester and beyond. Tech Show North is set to be one of the biggest exhibits centred around technology within the enterprise so it’s a perfect fit for UKFast. We’re excited to be a part of the show and meet more of our region’s extraordinary digital business leaders.”
Tech Show North will sit alongside our two hugely successful and established events, Marketing Show North (formerly Prolific North Live) and eCommerce Show North, both of which are returning.
Whether you are at Business 1.0 in need of insight and inspiration, or you are a future-thinker eager to share your ideas and boost your presence as a leader in tech, Tech Show North will be simply unmissable.
There are a number of different ways in which businesses and organisations can get involved in Tech Show North, from booking a stand to a wide range of sponsorship opportunities. We are also eager to hear from experiential companies who can help stimulate conversation and sprinkle their own unique ‘fairy dust’.
Tech Show North will feature over 100 exhibitors showcasing the very best in tech from across the North. It will provide buyers with an opportunity to meet and network with prospective suppliers and learn about the latest industry innovations and technologies.
