North West tech conference comes to Old Trafford

Some of the country’s leading technology wizards are converging on Manchester early next month to shape a new era of innovation - inspired by a former Wigan entrepreneur who is returning to his North West roots.

Ian Taylor spearheads disruptive ITC consultancy, TECHGIANT Workplace, with his 20-year-old son Oliver. The company was recently named one of the UK’s top 100 SME businesses and is hosting a digital transformation insight event at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium on June 8th.

It will see guest speakers from top tech companies come together to inspire and educate as part of ‘The Foundations For Change’ theme spanning cloud-based communications, cybersecurity, devices, infrastructure and AI.

“Manchester’s industrial heritage and rich reputation for innovation makes this the perfect place to inspire new ways of working and the next generation of technology leaders,” Ian explained.

“This is a conference all about UK digital transformation, and aims to provide great insight into the ways in which companies can adopt technology to bring them into the 21st century, allowing them to compete on both a domestic and international stage.

“My son is just 20 (fellow director and shareholder), and brings in the understanding and knowledge of just what the next generation (Gen Z) expect from the work environment, therefore helping direct the pillars of change across business enterprises. We want to reshape and inspire the next generation of tech innovators based on best practice, research, analysis and insight from many industry experts.”

Ian, who hails from Shevington in Wigan, concluded: “The tech giants are coming to Manchester and I’m coming back home. I’ve missed the pies too!”
