The Future of Cyber Security: Newcastle 18th November | The Glasshouse, Gateshead

We are bringing one of the UK’s most influential cyber security conferences to Newcastle for the very first time, hosted at the iconic Glasshouse in Gateshead.

Sara Davies MBE – the inspirational entrepreneur, investor, and star of BBC’s Dragons’ Den, will join us as the headline speaker in Newcastle with an exclusive fireside chat. From transforming her university bedroom start-up, Crafter’s Companion, into a global brand, to becoming one of the UK’s most recognisable business leaders, Sara exemplifies resilience, vision, and bold decision-making. In this session, she will share her journey, the challenges she has overcome, and her no-nonsense insights on what it takes to thrive in uncertain times. The audience will also have the rare opportunity to put their own questions directly to Sara, drawing powerful parallels between entrepreneurial agility and the adaptability essential in today’s fast-changing cyber security landscape.

This exclusive one-day event is your opportunity to gain critical insights from the front lines of cyber defence. With only 250 places available, demand is high and seats are expected to fill fast.

Topics will include: The recent ransomware attack on Marks and Spencer and a wave of high-impact retail breaches across the UK The rise of AI-driven phishing, impersonation and helpdesk attacks The long-term impact of incidents like the Legal Aid Agency data breach The continued threat of nation-state backed operations, including the case of SolarWinds

This is the first-ever Newcastle edition of The Future of Cyber Security. With limited capacity and high interest, we recommend registering early.

We look forward to seeing you there!
