Jumping in with both feet, we’ll tackle the Brexit issues that lie closest to the hearts of tech and digital companies – and how the prolonged uncertainty of the Brexit deal has impacted the Brit Tech and digital scene.
Are technology companies used to facing disruption and therefore more agile than most and less affected by new barriers to physical trade?
Will rising concerns about a potential talent shortage be addressed by the increased number of visas recently announced by the Government, or is the fiercest talent battle yet to come?
And attention all investment seekers: we’ll dig a little deeper into the initiatives that are designed to quell anxiety around a drop-off in funding from the EU and Global markets to ask: will these really cut it?
From cautious optimism, to defeatist doldrums, a variety of guest speakers will endeavour to cover the highs and lows of Brexit through the eyes of the UK tech and digital industry.
Agenda:
8.30am – Arrive, coffee and networking
8.45am – Talks kick off
10am – Talks end
