Women in tech can explore authentic leadership, career development and new connections in Cardiff on 14 October 2026 at this in-person event. Lead as yourself and strengthen your network Women in Tech: Leading as Yourself brings together women from across South Wales for a focused morning of inspiring speakers, honest discussion and meaningful networking. Celebrating Women in Tech Week 2026, the event creates space to consider how you can lead as yourself, develop your career and build the support network that women do not always find within the technology sector. The programme connects industry, academia and personal development in one room. Rather than limiting “tech” to a single profession, it welcomes women working or interested in software, hardware, AI, cyber security, design, web, data, analytics, IT and the many other disciplines under the technology umbrella. What to expect This is a 2.5-hour, in-person speaker and networking event featuring: - Speaker sessions designed to inspire reflection and career growth - Open, honest discussion about experiences in technology - Dedicated networking time with women from across the South Wales tech community - Opportunities to connect across different disciplines, organisations and career stages The emphasis is on real conversation and useful relationships,not simply exchanging contact details. Attendees can meet peers who understand the challenges of building a career in an industry that does not always recognise or celebrate women’s success. Who should attend? The event is exclusively for women already working in technology or interested in entering the industry. It is designed to be relevant whether you are: - An experienced leader or team lead - Building momentum in a mid-career role - A graduate or student - Working in academic research - Feeling stuck and considering your next step - Exploring a move into tech from another field No single level of experience or technical specialism is required. The breadth of the audience is a central part of the format, helping women at different stages learn from one another and form connections beyond their usual professional circles. Organised by Zena’s Coaching, the event is proudly partnered with WeAreTechWomen and Women in TECH-Connect Wales.… Register for this event

Taking place 14–15 October 2026, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Harness the Power of AI in GxP Europe brings together practical use cases, regulatory guidance and validation strategies. Organised by Knowledge Exchange Network, the programme focuses on using artificial intelligence to improve efficiency while protecting compliance, data integrity and accountability. Rather than treating AI as a purely theoretical opportunity, this conference uses case-study-driven sessions to examine implementation in manufacturing, quality control, validation and supply chains. Attendees will hear how regulated organisations can approach AI-driven automation, predictive analytics and continuous process improvement without losing sight of GxP obligations. Regulation, validation and data integrity The regulatory sessions will explore the frameworks and expectations shaping AI adoption in life sciences, including: - FDA guidance concerning AI and machine learning - Part 11 compliance for secure, accurate electronic records - The ISPE® AI Quality and Compliance Initiative - Data integrity challenges in AI-driven processes - Regulatory expectations across global markets - Transparency and accountability throughout AI validation Industry experts will discuss how teams can align AI initiatives with applicable quality and compliance standards, with particular attention to the evidence and controls required when algorithms influence regulated processes.

⌖ Leeds · Platform

Hosted by The Curve

A closed-door Leeds discussion for senior leaders who need to prove whether AI is delivering commercial ROI, not simply generating more activity. Taking place at Platform in Leeds on 14 October 2026, from 8:30am to 10:30am, this focused breakfast session examines how organisations can move from tracking AI output to measuring genuine business impact. It is organised by The Curve and Hopton Analytics. From AI activity to defensible returns Many businesses can identify what AI is doing but struggle to quantify what it returns. Time may be saved without appearing in commercial reporting; licences and pilots can continue without clear ownership of the return; and apparent efficiency gains may be absorbed into costs rather than converted into greater capacity or fee growth. This session is a direct sequel to The Curve’s earlier AI Reality Check discussions in Sheffield and Leeds. It keeps the same reality-first approach while concentrating on one sharper question: is your AI paying for itself, or just staying busy? The conversation will explore: - Where AI is producing a number that can be defended in a board meeting, and where it remains activity without measurable impact - The “efficiency tax” created when saved time is not deliberately converted into value - How leaders can approach build-versus-buy decisions - The commercial risks of turning quickly built internal tools into products - Whether pricing for outcomes rather than hours is a credible option - The cost of investing now compared with the potential cost of waiting Who should attend? The event is designed for directors, C-suite executives and Heads of roles across all industries. It will be particularly relevant to senior leaders and commercial decision-makers responsible for AI investment, operational efficiency, pricing, capacity or technology strategy. The discussion will be led by Paul Ridgway, CEO of The Curve, and Simon Devine, Managing Director of Hopton Analytics. An open, confidential format… Register for this event
