Tech Events by pro-manchester

with Sue Astley (Professor of Intelligent Medical Imaging, University of Manchester) · Adam Dustagheer (CEO and Founder, Datnexa) · Shainoor Khoja (Founder & CEO, Thriving.ai) + 2 more

A half-day conference on Greater Manchester's health technology sector - health data, AI, integrated care, and what actually gets adopted by the NHS rather than piloted and shelved. The programme covers neighbourhood health and new care models, prevention and community-based support, and digital tools for healthier living, closing with an interactive session on what the Greater Manchester HealthTech ecosystem could look like in 2036. Speakers include Sue Astley, Professor of Intelligent Medical Imaging at the University of Manchester; Adam Dustagheer of Datnexa; Shainoor Khoja of Thriving.ai; Daniel Zamora of Health Innovation Manchester; and Sim Singh-Landa, Investment Director at PXN Ventures. At Citylabs 1.0. Tickets are 85 pounds plus VAT for pro-manchester members and 125 plus VAT otherwise; NHS staff attend free by emailing the organiser. Why go: it puts founders, clinicians, commissioners and an investor in one room, a combination healthtech companies here usually have to assemble themselves. Best for healthtech founders and anyone selling into the NHS.

pro-manchester marks 40 years with a lunchtime birthday celebration at the Treehouse Hotel — a relaxed networking gathering for the membership and the wider Greater Manchester professional and tech community. A chance to connect with founders, operators and ecosystem players from across the region's business scene.

pro-manchester's flagship annual tech conference is back at SISTER for 2026. A full day of keynotes, panels and live demonstrations across AI, ethics, fintech, automation and the future of business collaboration — pitched at founders, scale-up leaders and corporate innovation teams. Trailblazing Tech is one of the few annual moments where Manchester's tech ecosystem meets its corporate, professional services and investor neighbours in the same room. Includes awards and structured networking. £85+VAT for non-members; member discounts apply.
