Stop, Collaborate & Listen

Stop, Collaborate and Listen.

Manchester is home to Europe’s second largest cluster of digital and creative industries, a city of academic excellence, forward-thinking public sector agencies and a growing Fintech scene - but are we collaborating effectively to realise our combined potential?

XYZ Events, the MPA and pro-manchester are formulating an experiment bringing together some of the best business minds from across the city to challenge our thinking and ultimately explore innovative ways to collaborate. The event is kindly sponsored by Apadmi.

A thought provoking talk about the psychology of collaboration will be delivered by Clare Mulligan (Carter Corson) to stir the mind. This will be followed by insightful table discussions led by business leaders from industries including law, media, property, digital, finance and tech. All brought together by Carter Corson's Head of Business, Rupert Cornford

Confirmed table hosts include:

Property - Will Lewis, OBI Property

Law - Vaqas Farooq, Shoosmiths LLP

Finance - Vicky Szulist, Crowe Clark Whitehill

Creative - Christian James, The IF Agency

Media & Comms - Mark Varley, Havas

Tech & Digital - Apadmi

Academia - Jeff McCarthy, MMU

Public Sector - Katie Peate, Business Growth Hub

PR - Julia Mitchell, Toast PR

MPA - Cindy Simmons

pro-manchester - Sam Booth

Each table will include delegates from a range of industries to encourage cross-sector collaboration. Tickets are just £10 each (plus booking fee) and there are a limited number available per sector, so don't miss out! Unfortunately no refunds can be issued once tickets are confirmed, but please do email rowan@toastpr.co.uk if you wish to change the name of the attendee.
