Only at #CyberFest
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.
