The event, taking place in the offices of Flutter on September 19, has been organised by The Yorkshire Post and will involve discussions and talks about the challenges and opportunities in the region’s growing tech sector.

Ms Daley, who attended the University of Leeds as a student, said: “I am really thrilled to be back in Leeds in September to chair the Yorkshire Data and Digital Conference.

"I’m looking forward to hearing from digital and data leaders about what they see as the key issues and trends right now, what the future may hold and how we get the next steps with data and digital transformation right for everyone.”

Prior to joining techUK in January 2015 Sue was responsible for Symantec's Government Relations in the UK and Ireland and was previously senior policy advisor at the CBI.
