York businesses are being invited to hear from HSBC’s Head of Technology Sector and Growth Lending at a new Tech Forum free event.
The event, at the City Council’s West Offices on Thursday 13 February, will see Roland Emmans explore how businesses can embrace rapid technological change.
He will share insights from a career in business finance, during which he’s developed a forward-thinking approach to the future of tech in business. He is expected to cut through the ‘buzz words’ that dominate current conversations about tech, and to outline the what technological change really means now, and in the future.
He said: “I’m looking forward to discussing how the world is evolving and how technology is driving change. The session will also look to demystify some of the current trends and provide tips and tricks on how to harness technology within your business and your life today.”
In addition, attendees will hear from Doug Winter, Founder and CTO of Isotoma, a 20-year-old York-based software development agency, who will share the story of its business journey.
Cllr Pete Kilbane, Executive Member for Economy and Culture at City of York Council, said: “We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Roland to York for what promises to be an informative, thought-provoking and inspiring event and I’d wholeheartedly encourage any business to book early to avoid disappointment.
“This event is by no means just for businesses who see themselves as part of the tech sector – it’s for anyone who uses tech, or is interested in the use of technology in running their business in the most efficient and effective ways.
“It’s great to see HSBC UK playing such an active part in supporting York enterprises of all shapes and sizes and acknowledging the huge impact that rapid technological advances are going to make for businesses in the years ahead.”
