Bookings are flooding in for Kirklees Business Week.

And organisers at the Lockwood-based Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce aim to bring activities to a close on a high note.

Microsoft will host the grand finale from 2pm to 4.30pm on Friday, October 17, at the prestigious 3M Buckley Innovation Centre (3MBIC), Firth Street, Huddersfield.

Delegates will hear from key note speaker Daniel Langton, of Microsoft, who is travelling to Kirklees to give a first class talk on the future of digital.

Microsoft has promised lots of goodies for the delegates – making this an event not to be missed.

Prof Liz Towns-Andrews, chief executive officer at Huddersfield University’s 3MBIC, will also give a brief insight into how businesses can take advantage of the technology available at the centre – whether it’s accessing the 3D printing services or advanced rendering to produce professional, high-definition images and animations.
