Tech Events at Conference Aston, Birmingham

Aston University's Centre for Cyber Security Innovation, Cyber University of the Year 2025, looks back on a year of work and launches new initiatives over a half-day of short talks. Professor Vladlena Benson, Director of Aston CSI, opens. Andy Hague of TechWM covers regional impact and Chris Woods of CyberQ Group the business side, followed by sessions on the Defence Universities Alliance, Horizon and European research partnerships, and a closing talk on taking research to commercialisation. Lunch and networking at 12:00. Free, 09:30 to 14:00 at Conference Aston, Aston Street.

The Lunar Society's annual Sir Adrian Cadbury Lecture, held in the Susan Cadbury Lecture Theatre at Conference Aston. Colin Fyfe, chief executive of Unity Trust Bank, speaks on the role of responsible business in a rapidly changing world. Free to attend, 18:00 start, at Aston University's conference centre on Aston Street. A responsible-business and corporate-governance lecture rather than a tech or startup room, so it sits on its venue and organiser pages rather than the Birmingham city page.

The flagship event of the week — a rare full-day exploration of trustworthy AI in healthcare at Aston University. Free, focused, and unlike anything else on the Birmingham calendar.
