The highly anticipated Bristol & Bath Cyber Conference is back for 2023. After connecting the most influential movers and shakers of the South West cyber sector at last year’s conference, we can’t wait to recreate the day with the most up-to-date industry knowledge.
Join us on Wednesday 11 October at the Watershed for a jam-packed day of learning and connecting by grabbing your Early Bird ticket here.
With a blend of workshops, panel debates, and 20 industry-leading speakers, this is the region’s largest cyber collective. Bristol & Bath Cyber Con is designed to support people working in the industry and celebrate the most innovative cyber startups.
Bristol & Bath Cyber Conference is back
Once again, Cyber Con will also be returning as part of the Bristol Technology Festival, taking place on Wednesday’s Awareness Day. We’ll be bringing together 350 delegates at the Watershed to learn, share and connect on all things cyber.
Last year marked the conference’s return after a few hiatus years. It proved to be an invaluable day, representing the community’s commitment to spearheading vital innovation in the sector. Following its success, we’re super excited to be holding the event again with new ideas and learnings in this fast-paced cyber world.
Whether you’re new to cyber and want to meet more of the community, or you’re an industry veteran looking to burnish your skills, as long as you have a keen interest in cyber, the conference will have something for you.
Meet the speakers
We believe Cyber conferences should be fun and engaging – and open to all regardless of experience. At the Bristol & Bath Cyber Conference we will explore the industry through fun social engineering & gamification activities, encouraging everyone to participate through interactive events and real-world challenges.
