Northern WARP 4th Annual Conference 2024

Welcome to the fourth tri-WARP Conference, brought to you as a collaboration between NorthWest WARP, Yorkshire & Humber WARP & ISNorthEast (North East Government WARP). The Northern WARP Conference is an exciting space to hear expert speakers from Government, Industry and peers speak about a range of topics related to cyber/information security, information governance and information management.

This year, for the first time, this event will be as a hybrid event. Come to Manchester for the full experience. We will be making approximately half of the content available to our virtual audience.

The agenda is designed with WARP members in mind, featuring interesting and useful sessions to appeal to local public sector practitioners of information security and information governance.

In addition to seminars (30 minute presentations from speakers), we are re-introducing the concept of Live Lounges! These are 40 minute sessions where national / Government speakers are invited to hangout and chat with delegates to answer questions you wish to pose directly.

The agenda is still in draft as we are confirming sessions and speakers.

In short, any person from the local public sector can attend! By local public sector, we typically include: councils, Health (Trusts, CCGs, ICS), Fire & Rescue, Police, Social Housing/RSLs, Universities, Community & Voluntary Sector.

This year, the Northern WARP conference is completely free for all organisations that are current members of any WARP in the UK. Attendance is not limited to the specific individuals that are members of the WARPS… any colleague from your organisation can attend as long as your organisation is a WARP member.

If you are from a public sector organisation that does not (yet) belong to any WARP, you are more than welcome to attend for the full ticket price of £150 plus VAT. Tickets are not available to private sector companies.
