ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let's be real about the state of traditional networking.
Leaders are completely exhausted by the endless cycle of vendor pitches.
Getting dragged from one surface-level meeting to the next does not solve real problems.
Jay Adamson and Warren Atkinson sat down with Llewellyn James and Jack Armstrong from Business Leaders Accelerate to talk about a better approach.
We are breaking down the old model to build something that actually supports the community.
That is why we are launching our Special Edition Series: “Fortress Edition”
SECURE | CYBER CONNECT is proud to be an official knowledge partner for Fortress Manchester.
The gathering happens on September 17th at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
We will be hosting live recordings onsite alongside our speakers, attendees and partner organisations.
We want you there in the room with us. Both aspiring and long standing leaders from across Information, Cyber Security, Governance, Risk, Compliance, AI and Quantum.
Inside this episode:
Solving People Problems: Why relying on technology alone will not fix your organiSational breakdowns.
Stopping Vendor Overload: How putting a strict cap on pitch sessions completely changes the room.
The Power of Storytelling: Creating environments where leaders actually share insights instead of selling.
The Northern Shift: Why Manchester and the surrounding region is the next major hub for real leadership conversations.
