Boost your communication skills. A high‑impact workshop for early‑stage and aspiring founders to speak clearly, confidently and convincingly.
Welcome to 10 Golden Rules for Improving Your Communication. Join us at GRID, Heriot‑Watt University, on 3 March 2026 at 11:00 AM for a focused, practical session designed to elevate how you communicate.
Clear, confident communication is one of the most valuable skills a founder can master. Many early‑stage founders have strong ideas but struggle to express them in a way that resonates with investors, partners, customers and teams. This workshop gives you the essential tools to communicate with clarity, confidence and real impact — helping you pitch more effectively, build trust quickly and accelerate your venture’s growth.
Led by communication specialist Greg Summers, this session strengthens the way you speak about your idea from day one — a no‑deck, no‑nonsense delivery built entirely around real insight, practical tools and high‑energy engagement.
This is a hybrid event, with in‑person attendance strongly encouraged for the full workshop experience.

Operational Technology is quickly becoming an organisation highest risk point and in 2026 it’s becoming a regulatory consideration too.
Over this four part webinar series we will be joined by guest speakers as we explore what operational and IT convergence really means for all industries, not just manufacturing and CNI; how it will be impacted by the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and what blueprint all organisations can follow to gain resilience across their environment.
Throughout this series we’ve covered:
- Assets discoverability and visibility (episode 1)
- Threat detection and integrating threat intelligence (episode 2)
- Incident response and meeting regulatory compliance (episode 3)
And in this episode we’ll look at bringing all of these elements together, connecting Operational Technology (OT) monitoring with IT monitoring to create a single view of full network activity.
In this episode we’ll cover:
- Why OT/IT connected monitoring is a must for any organisation in 2026
- How to effectively integrate IT and OT detection monitoring into a single Security Operations Centre (SOC)
- When this needs to be in place to be complaint with the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
Featuring John Ballentine (Government Advisor; Head of OT Cyber Security, New Jersey Port Authority), you’ll hear the real-world “art of the possible” for complex operational organisations and how to move from fragmentation to a connected security operating model.

Event Details
Attackers move fast and their techniques are more sophisticated than ever, especially with AI in their toolkit. But when the alerts hit, how does your team actually perform under real pressure?
HTB Threat Range was built to measure and strengthen that readiness.
It’s a team-based blue team simulation environment that exposes SOC and DFIR teams to realistic attack scenarios, so leaders can see how their teams perform when it matters most.
Hack The Box invites you and your team to a game night for blue teamers. A simulated cyberattack will unfold inside HTB Threat Range, where teams must detect, investigate, and respond in real time, while you observe investigation speed, team collaboration, decision-making, escalation paths, and operational resilience in action.
How the game works?
Our experts set the stage in HTB Threat Range, launching a realistic attack scenario and playing alongside you as it unfolds.
They guide the action, escalate events, and throw curveballs—inviting you to jump in, take on roles, make decisions, and play your part in containing the breach.
What you’ll walk away with?
- Develop detection and investigation skills through realistic attack scenarios, complete with alerts, logs, network traffic, and forensic artifacts.
- Benchmark team skills using key metrics such as MTTD, MTTI, and MTTR.
- Strengthen collaboration across SOC, Digital Forensics, and Incident Response through team-based roleplay.
- Identify gaps in detection, response, and coordination and turn those insights into a proactive response strategy.
Who should attend?
- CISOs and Deputy CISOs
- Heads of SOC and SOC Managers
- Blue Team Leaders
- Incident Response and DFIR Leaders
We strongly encourage you to bring your team.
The evening schedule:
- 17:30-18:00: Registration & welcome drinks
- 18:00-18:30: Mission briefing: Inside HTB Threat Range
- 18:30-19:30: Live operation: HTB Threat Range simulation
- 19:30-21:30: Networking with peers over drinks
