in today’s fast-paced, tech-enabled business environment, strategy is no longer fixed, it is fluid, dynamic, and constantly evolving. For business leaders, this reality brings both opportunity and challenge. The demands of leadership now require agility, resilience, and a sharp eye for innovation.

The CEO Strategy Forum, hosted in partnership by Bruntwood SciTech and Whitecap Consulting, returns to Leeds Digital Festival as an exclusive platform for regional CEOs to share experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. This year, the focus is on technology strategy and innovation – and how leaders are harnessing change to create growth.

Attendees will gain valuable insights from a panel of regionally based CEOs who are leading the way in strategic innovation. The discussion will explore how technological advancements are transforming business strategies across industries, and how leaders can adapt to remain competitive.

The forum also provides the opportunity to bring your own strategic challenges to the table for interactive discussion and feedback. It’s a unique chance to exchange ideas with peers, gain fresh perspectives, and leave with actionable strategies to implement in your business.

Event highlights:

  • Hear first-hand insights and experiences from regional CEOs.
  • Understand how technology is reshaping business strategy and driving growth.
  • Take part in interactive discussions and share your own challenges.
  • Network with peers, industry experts, and fellow leaders.

The session will be chaired by Julian Wells, Director at Whitecap Consulting, alongside a panel of regional Chief Executives.

This event is designed for CEOs and senior leaders who want to stay ahead in a rapidly changing environment.
