More than 50 partners expected to attend with speakers to include a cyber protection officer from the Regional Organised Crime Unit, a leading social media influencer, and the head of an award-winning lead-gen agency
Wolverhampton, 05 February 2025 – SYNAXON UK has recruited a dazzling line-up of speakers for its Attack vs. Defence partner event in early March. The event will also be backed by leading suppliers, including headline sponsors Telev8 and Terra Computer.
Presenters will include Ian Schofield, Regional Cyber Crime Protect Officer for the Regional Cyber Crime Unit (RCCU) West Midlands, who will talk about how the threat landscape has evolved over the years and what the future may hold. There will be a fireside chat session on modern marketing with Ewan Baggott, football freestyler, presenter and social media influencer, and Tara-Jane Sloane, Managing Director of Telev8, an award-winning IT lead generation specialist, will explain how partners can attract new and profitable business.
A panel debate focusing on current cyber security challenges will feature senior executives from ESET, Huntress, OpenText, Pax8, and Viper. Throughout the day, delegates will be able to network with each other, vendor partners, and SYNAXON UK personnel in the expo area. Further exhibitors including Dell, HP, Owl Labs, and ThreatLocker, will also be in attendance, with more to be announced.
The all-day event is not only open to engaged partners, but also to IT resellers and MSPs who are new to SYNAXON, taking place at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton on Thursday, 6th March 2024. Anyone wishing to attend is advised to register as soon as possible (see link below).
Mike Barron, Managing Director, SYNAXON UK, said: “We want to make this event different from anything else that partners might have attended. Cyber security is a huge issue, but there have been more than enough events highlighting the scale of the opportunity and promoting solutions. We want to take a more practical approach. Ian Schofield will give us a new perspective on the everyday realities of fighting cybercrime – and we’ll explore that theme and others in the panel debate.
“We’re going to take a more pragmatic look at marketing techniques too, giving partners the opportunity to hear about both traditional and modern techniques with Telev8’s Tara-Jane Sloane, and social media influencer Ewan Baggott. Hopefully, by approaching these key areas of business from a different angle, we can spark more out-of-the-box thinking, and ignite new conversations, partnerships, and potential.”
Commenting on the central theme of the event, he added: “As a long suffering Wolves fan and junior football coach, I am used to seeing an attack versus defence scenario played out at Molineux, so I thought we might as well continue with that theme for this event.”
