What is CyberFest?
CyberFest is a full-day fusion of a leading industry event and the energy of a festival. No sterile conference rooms. No name-badge small talk. Instead, you get award-winning street food, live music, thought-provoking talks from cyber security leaders, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes networking enjoyable.
Organised by Fortem IT and CyNam, and hosted at Dunkertons, one of Cheltenham's favourite venues, the event runs from 10am to 10pm. That is a full day built around the people shaping the future of UK security and tech.
What's on
Clear your diary for these:
- Keynote by Jamie Bartlett: BBC journalist, podcaster, and one of the UK's most compelling voices on technology and society
- Panel: What is the impact of AI on education?: a conversation that matters beyond the classroom
- Talk: The importance of sovereign software in Chinese robotics: the kind of session you will not find at your average industry event
- Beautifully curated spaces for networking and conversation
- More speakers and sessions to be announced
The day is hosted by Alice Violet and Felicity Main, two of cyber security's leading communication specialists.
On the entertainment side: a vintage circus performance from Asteria's Playground, live music, and two £15 vouchers with every ticket to spend at Dunkertons' award-winning eateries. High-quality tea, coffee, and a full range of drinks are available throughout.
Who is it for?
CyberFest is built for the people making the decisions: business leaders, board members, heads of security and IT, and founders steering their organisation's digital future.
If you are responsible for keeping an organisation secure, resilient, and moving forward, this is a room worth being in. And if you are simply curious about where cyber is heading, you will find a welcoming, jargon-light environment built for learning and connection.
Come and find us on the day
The conversations that shape how organisations think about security rarely happen in meeting rooms. They happen at events like this one. Come and find the Access Managed Services team on the day — we will be the ones with strong opinions and a street food recommendation.
