We are back at Forum in Sheffield on Tuesday 7 July, bringing together senior figures from our member, partner and sponsor organisations for the ‘friendliest networking event in town’. Those are your words, not ours, although we do pride ourselves on having a particularly friendly gang at these events. Invitations are being sent this week and as always, there’s a limited number of spaces, so don’t hang around… read on for more details.
About this event
The Sheffield Digital Senior Leaders Dinner is for business owners, founders, and senior team leaders in the region’s digital tech industries. The evening is an opportunity to spend time in a relaxed, informal environment with peers operating at a similar level, who probably spend their day-to-day tackling similar challenges to you.
Come to ask questions, offer a friendly ear, meet new people or connect with friends – there’s no rigid structure, expectations or requirements of guests.
The Sheffield Digital team will be on hand to welcome you, give a quick update on our organisation and let you know of any opportunities on the horizon, such as other events or programmes. This is followed by a tasty and varied buffet in the Forum Lounge space, where there’s lots of space to walk around and mingle, or sit down and unwind.
We have access to a private bar where you can purchase soft drinks, alcohol and hot drinks, and your food is included in the ticket price.
With a tried and tested venue and format, we’re confident the evening will strike the right balance, just as this guest commented from our October 2025 Senior Leaders Dinner: “As always, the Sheffield Digital Senior Leaders Dinner was a fantastic evening of great food and even better company.”
Another added, “Great event! Not too much presenting and listening – leaving more time for conversations and collaborations. I liked the venue too as it made it really easy for networking and the food was delish too!”

A word on the World Cup
The football World Cup runs from 11 June – 19 July and our event falls at the tail end of the Rounds, just before the Quarter Finals. We know that many of you will be following England throughout the tournament and won’t want to miss any chance of seeing them play. But, fear not, we’ve done the maths (well, ChatGPT did the maths) and the chances of England playing on 7 July are extremely slim and would require them to have performed pretty dismally up to this point and finish third in their group.
If you’re following other teams and they happen to be playing in the one match that takes place during the Senior Leaders Dinner, the Common Room – located just upstairs – will be showing it.
Want to be there?
To ensure the event retains its value for guests, the Senior Leaders Dinner is exclusively for Sheffield Digital members, or senior individuals from our Ecosystem Partner and Associate Sponsor organisations – and invitations to buy tickets will be sent on email. If you’re a member and don’t receive an invitation this week, give us a nudge.
If you aren’t yet a Sheffield Digital Member, but would like to attend this event to see what being a part of the community is all about, we’d love to hear from you. Email Chris Dymond, telling us about your organisation and role and we’ll get back to you.
