DTX Manchester 2023 | Imago Techmedia | 21 May 2023 | Manchester Central Convention Complex, Windmill St, Manchester M2 3GX, UK

How do the best companies thrive, not just survive, in this era of continual disruption? What does it take to find opportunity in the midst of chaos?

At DTX Manchester, we want to bring tech leaders from every sector to answer these questions, share insight on how to help your organisation embed innovation, turn data into actionable customer insight, build products that excite, be risk smart and enable your team to collaborate from any place.

The exhibition, alongside fringe events and socials, offers endless opportunities for you to discover the latest solutions, connect with your peers and learn from industry trailblazers.
