#CyberFest

Yes, it’s back! This will be #CyberFest’s sixth year as the North East’s biggest cyber security festival. We’ve been working hard to raise the profile of the cyber security sector in the region while celebrating its diverse and exciting nature. This year we want to build on this platform to create a mixed festival of online and in person events, including a flagship event that attracts an international audience.

In addition we are planning a number of events including:

• BSides Newcastle
• A schools’ debate
• A CyberFirst event
• An arts event
• A Northern Cluster Collaboration event

 
We want your help. We’re looking for organisations to put on their own events under the banner of #CyberFest. How they work, where they are and who the target audience is entirely up to you. All we ask is that they take place within September 2023.

Our annual #CyberFest invites the cyber business community to come together, to connect, to debate, to explore contemporary issues effecting businesses, to discover new perspectives and to listen and learn.

The aim of #CyberFest is to raise awareness of cyber security activities across the region as part of our mission ‘To make the North East the place for cyber security.’

The festival brings together businesses, academics, Universities, students, thought leaders, innovators, artists and cyber enthusiasts. Each year the programme features speaker events, panel debates, networking opportunities and practical workshops. The festival shines a light on the opportunities in the sector, highlights the breadth of cyber security talent across the region and is a space to share new ways of thinking and sector learning.
