“Hello? Who is this? How did you get my number?” a conversation we’re all likely to have had on more than one occasion. But who does have access to our data? Should we be concerned, or is our data being collected and used for the greater good? Let’s find out! As part of this year’s Leeds Digital Festival, we’ll consider the current research, technology, and innovations to support predictions for the future of consumer data.

In partnership with NorthInvest, during this session, we'll be joined by experts from the investment community who’ll walk you through how the deals and the funding markets have coped with the uncertainty of the past year and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. They’ll share their expert advice on approaching Seed fundraising. We’ll also hear from Will Smith and Peter Kirby, Co-Founders of Tred to hear their first-hand investment insights.
