Manchester Law and Technology Conference
In July 2023, we hosted the second Manchester Law and Technology Conference.
This event has been free to attend, thanks to the support of our partners and event sponsors, Bruntwood, who host it at their No 1. Circle Square building.
You can read a write-up of the event and watch highlights from the inaugural conference in 2022 to get a flavour of what to expect on the day in the short video below.
