SPRITE+ is pleased to partner with the Greater Manchester Cyber Security Advisory Group to host an in person event on 11 November 2021 (15.30-18.00) to bring together representatives of the city-region’s cyber ecosystem in Greater Manchester.

This event will feature talks from SPRITE+, Greater Manchester Cyber Security Advisory Group and national government representatives, with plenty of time for networking over drinks.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Emma Barrett, Professor of Psychology, Security & Trust and Director of SPRITE+ at the University of Manchester
• Andrew Elliot, Deputy Director for Cyber Skills and Innovation at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
• Vic Knight, Strategic Pursuits Director for Applied Intelligence at BAE

This event is open to all SPRITE+ Members, Expert Fellows and Project Partners and Greater Manchester Cyber Security Advisory Group Members.

The Greater Manchester Cyber Security Advisory Group includes around 50 organisations from industry, regional and local government, healthcare, third sector, academia, and policing. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet up with research end users from a wide range of sectors as well as to network with academic colleagues in the Greater Manchester area.
