Birmingham Tech Week is the UK’s largest regional technology festival, bringing together thousands of business leaders, founders, investors, innovators and policymakers from across the UK and beyond. The week showcases the strength of the West Midlands’ thriving tech ecosystem, exploring the trends, technologies and leadership challenges shaping the future of business and society.

We are inviting a select group of senior leaders to an exclusive, invitation-only dinner exploring what it means to lead successfully in an increasingly complex and fast-moving world.

Hosted by Shakespeare Martineau and CSS Assure and chaired by Yiannis Maos MBE, the evening will explore the decisions, technologies and leadership approaches driving success in an increasingly complex world.

We’ll discuss:

  • The defining strategic decisions made over the past two years
  • What’s really working with AI and where organisations are seeing measurable value
  • The risks and challenges leaders should be preparing for over the next five years
  • How organisations are inspiring, aligning and engaging people behind ambitious transformation agendas

An exclusive dinner exploring leadership, strategy and innovation with some of the region’s most influential business voices.
