Brighton Fringe Launch

In Collaboration with Brighton Fringe.

Our Silicon Brighton Leaders quarterly networking events are an opportunity for supporters, sponsors and special guests to come together to meet like-minded people, and listen to experts in the field talk about big issues and themes affecting our businesses.

This special edition marks the start of Brighton Fringe, a month-long open access arts festival happening in the city of Brighton & Hove.
