Keynote speakers will include Professor Nic Palmarini, director of the National Innovation Centre for Ageing at Newcastle University, and Aaron Harris, CTO at Sage.
Andrew Besford, a Dynamo vice-chair, said: “Our programme evidences how the North East Tech sector is playing a key role in COVID-19
recovery locally as many of our sessions will explore responses in the region.
“These will include a panel session on responses from the health sector and society more generally, and another on how businesses can survive and thrive in an uncertain world.”
He added: “A Future of Education Tech panel discussion will focus on the repercussions of the pandemic, while new Dynamo members CGI will host a session on Embracing a post-COVID- 19 World.”
He added: “It’s a packed programme of sessions and panel discussions and as it’s free and online.
“We’re expecting delegates to join us for sessions that will be of help or interest them without them having to commit to a full day.
“We felt it vital for the benefit of the regional tech sector that the conference went ahead.
