To the DTX Manchester Tech community

After consultation with our stakeholders over the last few days, we have made the difficult decision to postpone DTX Manchester. It has become clear that for a large majority of the DTX Manchester community, the travel restrictions and uncertainty that the coronavirus has caused, has impacted our ability to gather the Northern Tech community on 25-26th March.

Knowing how important DTX Manchester is for business and IT Leaders in the North of the UK, we are pleased to announce that the event has been rescheduled and will now take place on 4-5 November, staying at its home in Manchester Central. In addition, we will be designing an on-line learning and networking programme over the coming week to support with key meetings and engagements that were already scheduled.

We’ll be announcing more details on both the virtual and in-person programs for DTX Manchester shortly and we thank you for your continued support. If you have further questions please contact [email protected], you can also find out more information via the DTX Manchester event website. 

With Best Regards,
