Yorkshire is gathering aims to boost its city tech sector

Silicon Yorkshire, one of the fastest-growing tech communities in the North, is set to host its second informal gathering in York. This event aims to bring together professionals working in the tech, digital, and IT sectors, fostering meaningful conversations, creating space for special interest groups, and fostering opportunities for all attendees.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, November 16, starting at 5:30 pm and continuing until 11 pm at Manahatta, 3 Little Stonegate. Those who register for this free event will be treated to a complimentary drink as they network with like-minded professionals from the broader tech sector.

Silicon Yorkshire’s mission is to provide a year-round events schedule across the Yorkshire region, intentionally organizing activities in locations beyond the traditional tech hubs like Leeds. This approach allows for a more inclusive and diverse audience.

Managing Director at Silicon Yorkshire, Gareth Huxall, said: ““We have had some great events this year and have purposely hosted several of these outside of the more traditional locations, such as Leeds.

“When we came to York back in April, it was great to see so many people taking the opportunity to meet in person. As an organisation, we have facilitated thousands of introductions this year and we want that to continue.

“We hope that we will see some familiar faces and introduce new contacts to the group. After all, we want to show what a difference we can make when we extend our networks and work collaboratively together for the benefit of everyone.”
