Northern WARP Conference: security, governance & management

What’s the event about?
Welcome to the first tri-WARP Conference, brought to you as a collaboration between North West WARP, Yorkshire & Humber WARP & ISNorthEast (North East Gobernment WARP). The Northern WARP Conference is the first of what we hope will be an annual event, bringing to you, an exciting space to hear expert speakers from Government, Industry and peers speak about a range of topics related to cyber/information security, information governance and information management.

What’s on the agenda?
The agenda is designed with WARP members in mind, featuring interesting and useful sessions to appeal to local public sector practitioners of information security and information governance.

In addition to seminars (30 minute presentations from speakers), we are introducing the concept of Live Lounges! These are 30 minute informal sessions where speakers are invited to hangout and chat with delegates to answer questions you wish to pose directly. The three live lounges are:
- WARP Live Lounge
- NCSC Live Lounge
- PSN Live Lounge

You can find out more about confirmed speakers and seminar sessions by browsing the speaker and agenda tabs respectively. The agenda is still in draft as we are confirming more sessions and speakers over the next few weeks. Please check back for new agenda items, and to bookmark the sessions you wish to attend.

Who can attend?
In short, any person from the local public sector can attend! By local public sector, we typically include: councils, Health (Trusts, CCGs, ICS), Fire & Rescue, Police, Social Housing/RSLs, Universities, Community & Voluntary Sector.

However, it is only completely free for organisations that are current members of one of the Northern WARPS (NW WARP, Y&H WARP and NEG WARP). We are charging a nominal fee for delegates from organisations that belong to other regional WARPs to cover basic costs (£30 plus VAT). Attendance is not limited to the specific individuals that are members of the WARPS… any colleague from your organisation can attend as long as your organisation is a WARP member.

If you are from a public sector organisation that does not (yet) belong to any WARP, you are more than welcome to attend for the full ticket price of £150 plus VAT. Tickets are not available to private sector companies.
