We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting our fifth Northern WARP Conference this year! The Northern WARP conference is a cyber collaboration across the North which includes the North West WARP, Yorkshire and Humber WARP and IS North East WARP.

This will be a hybrid event, we welcome you to join online or in-person at the Kings House Conference Centre, Manchester.

The conference will provide an exciting space for delegates to hear from expert speakers from government and industry speak about a range of topics related to cyber/information security, information governance, and information management.

This year, the conference will focus on Empowering Transformation through Secure Innovation. We are passionately committed to tackling the most critical cyber challenges in the local public sector, with a keen focus on the dynamic impact that AI is currently having on the evolving landscape. 

Our mission is to drive best practice and innovation, curating a rich and diverse program that meets the unique needs of our WARP members, ensuring each individual gains valuable insights and fosters connections that will drive their organisations forward.

In addition to the in-person experience, we are excited to offer a virtual component to the conference. Through the utilisation of the CrowdComms platform, we will be live-streaming a significant portion of the event and hosting several dedicated online sessions for delegates who are unable to travel to Manchester.

We are currently in the process of confirming a lineup of inspiring speakers, ensuring that the agenda is packed with a line-up of engaging live lounges and seminar sessions. Our headline sponsor is Risk Ledger who will also be hosting a seminar session for delegates to join.

The conference is now open for early registration, offering a unique chance for public sector colleagues to learn, network, and collaborate. 

This conference is free to attend for anyone holding a current WARP membership with any WARP in the UK. WARPs are trusted forums for local public sector cyber security and data protection officers to collaborate, receive threat intelligence and share best practice. There is a WARP in every part of the UK.
