About this Event

With the Prime Minister saying he is committed to leaving the European Union by the 31st October “do or die”, The UK Tech Cluster Group, Tech Nation, and The Coalition for a Digital Economy (Coadec) are working together to explain what tech and digital companies need to do to ensure that their businesses are ready for a potential “no-deal” Brexit.

Areas of focus will include:

- Tax implications for your business.
- How to manage the other business critical impacts of a no-deal Brexit.

We will have industry experts, as well as local legal and accounting professionals, at hand to ensure that you are able to take the necessary steps to Brexit-proof your business.

By attending this briefing you will:

Find out the key issues that will impact tech and digital companies in a no deal outcome and what you can do about it to that your business is fully prepared for all eventualities.
