York to host next Silicon Yorkshire event as tech community gathers pace

Silicon Yorkshire, one of the fastest growing tech communities in the North, will host the next drinks evening in York, extending its reach to attract tech talent and c-suite digital executives that live and work around the city.

The organisation brings people together to ignite intelligent conversation, share news, and generate opportunities for everyone. Registrations are encouraged from those that work directly in the tech sector, as well as those in the wider technology eco-system.

Sam Hasson, board director of Silicon Yorkshire, said: “We are an inclusive group and want to encourage as many people as possible to come together to share their thoughts and experiences. Everyone has a place in Silicon Yorkshire.

“We want to really put Yorkshire on the map before extending our reach throughout the North. We know that there is a real vested interest from contacts we have in York to join a group that removes the ‘hard sell’ and instead simply facilitates conversation.

“For all those that want to extend their support network and add trusted colleagues from the business community, register free and come along.”

Attracting 3,000 pre-registrations before launch, Silicon Yorkshire brings executives and senior executives from technology ecosystems throughout Yorkshire and beyond together. The group has ambitions to become the largest and most active tech community in the UK.

Taking place on Wednesday 19 April at Manahatta, 3 Little Stongate, those registering will receive a complimentary drink before meeting with other liked-minded executives from the wider tech sector.
