Charlie Hoult speaks at the 2017 Dynamo Board Dinner. THE region’s biggest tech conference will this year focus on how its IT sector has successfully responded to the coronavirus pandemic. The annual Dynamo conference attracts delegates from the North-East s leading and growing IT and software companies, councils, specialist professional services, universities and colleges and other related industries. This year’s event – Tech Leads the Way in a Challenging World – will be held online on Thursday, June 17. The virtual conference will be delivered by regional tech network Dynamo, and will be free to members and £25 for non-Dynamo organisations. Charlie Hoult, Dynamo chair, said: “Last year’s online conference went extremely well, and while we’d obviously prefer to be able to host Dynamo 21 in person, we know this year’s virtual version will be another success.
