This year, not only will the conference be a gathering of some of the brightest minds from the tech community, but over 100 business representatives from businesses in and around the county.
With some business based sessions and the opportunity to network with investors, designers and everything in between, the conference is the perfect chance to mingle with like minded folk and attend interactive sessions demonstrating how technological advances can add efficiency and value to a company’s business model.
Taking place at The King’s Centre in Norwich city centre, NorDevCon is considered so important amongst the region’s business community that it was recently featured in the EDP, with Business Editor Ben Woods exploring how the conference is calling on East Anglian businesses to back Norwich’s technology sector. The articles headline read “Businesses and software companies must forge closer ties to help the region’s technology sector reach its full potential.”
The event is designed to showcase the important role tech firms can play within the East Anglian economy and event host, Naked Element’s Paul Grenyer, explains “the event will boost the profile of Norwich’s technology sector and help bring in the talented workers it needs for growth. There are companies turning up to technology community groups looking for developers, but are struggling to find them.”
From the 1st October 2019 the way the construction industry charges VAT is undergoing a major change.
HMRC’s “Domestic Reverse Charge” will affect VAT-registered individuals, businesses and companies and is likely to have a significant impact on their cash flow. With cash flow being the predominant factor of the success and failure of any business in the construction industry, it is imperative that businesses are not caught unprepared.
As part of our commitment to ensure our valued clients are both educated about and comfortable with the proposed changes, Aston Shaw is joining forces with New Anglia Growth Hub and NatWest to host this free-to-attend seminar to explain in layman’s terms what will be changing and how you can take steps to not just comply with, but take advantage of, the new rules.
