Future Horizons: Pioneering tech events and professional training

In response to the prevailing issue where attendees of tech and professional industry events often leave with mere glimpses of insight, Future Horizons is set to host an unprecedented event featuring Sir Alex Younger, the former longest-serving head of MI6.

The event, scheduled for March 15th at the prestigious Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, will shed light on the exponentially growing cyber threat and its pervasive impact on society.

Sir Alex Younger will illuminate how the cyber threat transcends boundaries, affecting not only government entities and large corporations but also small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), charities, educators, and private individuals. At this breakfast meeting, he will stress the personal and collective responsibility each entity holds in fortifying cybersecurity protocols.

“Real insights often get lost amidst the overwhelming influx of information at events,” says Aaron O’Grady, founder of Future Horizons, “and professional training can sometimes lag behind technological advancements, rendering it ineffective or irrelevant for certain industries.”
