About
INFOSEC Manchester
With a focus in North West of England, namely Manchester, the INFOSEC Manchester events are vendor-neutral and feature panel discussions by industry experts who address a wide spectrum of real-world challenges and current strategies in Cybersecurity today.
The events will be supported by industry leaders, commercial organisations, professional associations, technology vendors and Information Technology professionals from around the world.
In the past we have had speakers from the FBI, Universities, industry-leading organisations and our sponsors. This year we are looking to continue our strong speaker standards to provide our attendees with valuable information and insights into all things Infosec.
Infosec Manchester is proud to be supporting the Wood Street Mission, with a collection on the night, which has gone down exceedingly well in previous events, we have raised hundreds of pounds for the wonderful work the Wood Street Mission are doing, and we hope to continue this at our next event.
