What People Say

“

If I could take this back to London with me, I would. It's needed everywhere. It's not just the North that operates in silos, everywhere does. And it doesn't make any sense.

COO Europe, IBM

“

Geoff and the team have built something really extraordinary. There's a power to the community I haven't seen at events in London.

VP Europe, Twitter

“

The quality and quantity of conversations was superb and my time there flew by. I'm definitely coming back!

Business Development Director, MSP

“

Thanks so much for putting on an awesome event last night, they really are so useful, you've built an amazing community!

COO, Software Development Business

“

It was a great event and a joy to attend. Somehow you always seem to have interesting people all in the same place at the same time. That's not an easy thing to do.

Global Data Executive

Yesterday evening I got a masterclass in great networking at the inaugural Silicon North event in Leeds. A room full of amazing people from across the Leeds ecosystem. And it wasn't the usual suspects meeting the usual suspects. It genuinely felt different.
