The event will focus on real, open and honest conversations addressing hidden truths, tackling industry complexities and sharing straight facts.

Starting at 12.30pm, come down for a packed programme of interactive workshops, collaborative panel discussions, demo listening sessions and 1:1 mentoring.

From 6pm, the afterparty will kick off with free food and live music from rising Manchester stars.
