OUR AGENDA

image

There were FIVE content streams offering an extensive agenda of conference-grade content, that you would normally have to pay for.

Our programme was open to everyone and FREE to attend in 2024., where visitors were offered more content, than at most similar sized or larger scaled cyber events in the UK.

It is our belief that our role is to provide you with the latest insights to build out your cyber roadmap with enough room to be seated comfortably as part of the best possible visitor experience.

Sessions were 20 minutes. allowing us to deliver more content through the day but in an informative and concise format whilst not being overtly "salesy" and  more solution based - there were three breaks in the program to allow visitors to take some time out across all of the other features. 

Topics included: 

Cloud Security, Ransomware, Social Engineering, OT Security, Threat Landscape, App Security, Cyber Culture, Diversity and Inclusion... And Many More!

THE INCLUSIVE CYBER SPACE

UK Cyber Week was thrilled to host the inaugural track - The Inclusive Cyber Space as we are more than just a tech show. 

In partnership with NeuroCyber, Holly Foxcroft from Stott and May Consulting, and The Zensory, we curated speaker tracks and activities: to foster learning, forge connections, and cultivate a sense of belonging within the cybersecurity community.

Speakers delved into their experiences, sharing strategies for building successful Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), leadership modelling, and conveying the business imperative that propels innovation and ROI through strategic embracement across diversity across thought, ethnicity, socio-economic backgrounds, and gender representation.

Across two immersive days, The Inclusive Cyber Space  was designed to provide actionable insights for implementation at work, engaging activities for self-knowledge, and opportunities to hear from industry leaders. Drawing from lived experiences and research, the focus is on the vital link between cultivating personal resilience and bolstering overall business security governance.
