Fringe event for DTX Manchester - Welcoming digital and tech leaders to the city as part of Manchester Tech Week.
About this Event

Ahead of DTX Manchester, join leaders from across Greater Manchester’s digital and technology ecosystem for an informal DTX Fringe networking evening, in partnership with Glaisyers ETL.

This relaxed pre-event brings together founders, technology leaders, investors and innovators for drinks, connections and conversation before the main conference begins.

We’ll also hear from guest speaker Rebecca Fox, Founder of Relentica and a two-time CIO 100 UK Award winner (2024 & 2025).

Rebecca will share insights on the human side of AI adoption and why cyber security has become a critical leadership challenge for modern organisations.

As AI transforms how businesses operate, the risks around data, security and organisational behaviour are evolving just as quickly. Rebecca will explore how leaders can ensure their organisations adopt AI confidently while building resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Whether you're attending DTX or simply part of Greater Manchester’s thriving tech ecosystem, this event is a chance to connect with peers and start the week’s conversation.


What to Expect

• Informal networking with leaders across the GM tech ecosystem

• Drinks and canapés provided

• Keynote talk from Rebecca Fox

• Opportunity to connect ahead of DTX Manchester
