Stoke On Tech August Event

Join us this August for another Stoke-on-Trent Tech gathering, bringing together technology professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts from across the region.

This event will explore the growing impact of data in our everyday lives — from protecting our personal information online to using data-driven insights to create better outcomes in healthcare.
We’re excited to welcome two fantastic guest speakers:

Adam Egan – Digital Privacy: Nothing to Hide, Everything to Protect
A short talk on why privacy matters in a connected world, and practical advice to help understand, manage and protect your digital footprint.

Gordon Rugg - Digital privacy, and what people want: Why people are less inconsistent than they look, and what the implications are for designers and society.
People appear to be inconsistent, saying one thing while doing something different. This has been a core problem for decades in fields such as market research, public opinion surveys, etc. One response has been big data crunching for advertising, making digital data a hugely valuable commodity, with massive consequences for digital privacy. This talk unpacks the reasons for people’s apparent inconsistency, and identifies smarter, better and more human-centred ways of identifying what customers really want and need.

Whether you work in technology, data, cybersecurity, or are simply passionate about how innovation is shaping our future, this event offers the chance to learn, share ideas, and connect with the local tech community.

Come along, be inspired, and join the conversation around the technologies driving change.
