Launching on Wednesday 25 March at the Aura Innovation Centre in Hessle, business leaders will hear from keynote speaker and managing director of KCOM, Sean Royce, who will offer insights about how businesses can benefit from UK’s fastest broadband infrastructure.
The launch will also feature serial entrepreneur and innovator Rob Lewis, CEO of Edenic Group, who will hone in on the digital trends that are shaping the economy, industry and the way we live our lives.
