Now in its 6th year, the ICT Cluster Conference and Awards is a gem in the ICT Cluster calendar. It is the largest event dedicated to the West Midlands Technology Industry and last year attracted a staggering 420 participants.
The purpose of this exciting event is to provide SME's with unrivalled access to technology partners, thought leaders, business innovators, and support organisations. It is also a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded individuals within the region.
This year’s inspirational theme is ‘Competing in the New World – Innovating your way to success’. The event comprises a mixture of informative, practical workshops, interactive demonstrations and thought-provoking speakers. A highlight of the event will be the evening ceremony for the winners of the highly coveted ICT Excellence Awards.
