Tech leaders from across the region will be ‘gathering’ online for the first Tech South West Insight Lab next Thursday. The last Tech South West digital event before the summer.

Taking place for the first time (and it is hoped it will become an annual event) Insight Lab brings together tech leaders and business experts from across the South West to provide insight, inspiration and ideas.

It’s happening Thursday July 8, 10am – 12 noon. Register in advance here: hopin.com/events/tsw-insight-lab.

Split into three tracks, Insight Lab is a platform to access interactive learning sessions with key players in the region, including: non-dilutive funding experts Granted Consultancy, global accountancy experts RSM, professional development specialists Sandler Training, tech marketing experts Astley Media, Bristol-based accountancy and strategy startup Azure, employee wellbeing specialists People Matter Technology, Bristol-based angel investor and startup mentor Ben Cooper, and more.

The event will be kicked off by keynote speaker Anders Hakfelt, SVP Product and Marketing at Ultraleap, and rounded up with networking and a physical wellbeing session led by Posture Up.

As well as these and other great workshops, the Insight Lab will feature a live panel discussion called Get Real: Can the South West really be a world-leading tech cluster?

The panel includes:
1. Professor Patric Eriksson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research & Innovation at Falmouth University
2. Sally Basker, CEO of Exeter Science Park
3. Marty Reid, CEO Engine Shed
