Join the Virtual Event Disrupting Technology

Securing the future of the tech industry has never been more paramount and this year, Tech LIVE Virtual will highlight and unite the industry’s best innovators.

The tech industry plays a crucial role in shaping our modern world. It drives innovation, empowers businesses, and enhances our daily lives.

From advancements in communication and healthcare to revolutionising industries like finance and transportation, technology is the catalyst for progress. Its impact on economic growth, job creation, and global connectivity underscores the undeniable importance of the tech industry in our increasingly digital and interconnected society.

Although the talent crisis remains and only a reported 13% of companies are currently using technologies such as AI, it has never been more important to innovate and disrupt to secure a better future for all.

Tech LIVE Virtual will unite tech innovators and enthusiasts alike to discuss some of the issues at the forefront of the industry such as ethical AI, the importance of DE&I in technology and taming the ransomware storm.
