Compered by Sarah Brooks, Head of Business Development at Klarian, and James Cater, Chair of EXIST, the event hosted a dynamic lineup of keynote speakers, bringing national insight to regional challenges.
These included Christina Cole, Head of Skills at Amazon Web Services (AWS), sharing her perspective on accelerating AI skills and nurturing early career talent in the South West and Richard Potter, Director of Digital Strategy at Microsoft, offered a compelling vision for preparing the region for the AI-driven economy.
The Rt Hon Sir Mel Stride, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, rounded out the evening with a strategic view on developing, retaining, and attracting the right skills for long-term economic resilience.

Each speaker reinforced the urgency of building a future-ready workforce that is well-equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly changing digital landscape. Their insights sparked meaningful conversations among attendees, many of whom are leading efforts to transform their organisations through innovation and talent investment.
James Cater, Chair of EXIST, said: “A key takeaway from the evening is that by investing in skills and fostering strategic partnerships, we are shaping a workforce that is not only prepared for tomorrow but actively creating it. We are delighted with the success of the event and are already looking ahead to the next leadership session in spring 2026.”
Thanks also to Rockbeare Manor for providing a welcoming venue, delicious food and hospitality that set the tone for an interesting and valuable gathering.
