It was another successful Digital City Festival, which was held across Greater Manchester last week, as thousands of delegates across the global digital sector reunited for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
The week-long festival held from 7th to 11th March featured a host of partner events, inspirational sessions from thought leaders across the marketing, tech, ecommerce and digital world, finishing off with the Digital City Awards. At the heart of it was the two-day Digital City Expo at Manchester Central, which brought together nearly 3,500 people.
Supported by prominent local figures and industry leaders, the festival kicked off on Monday 7th March with a launch event held at the offices of HOST in MediaCity.
The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham spoke at the event appearing alongside Festival Director Martyn Collins and the CEO of IN4 Group Mo Isap.
Burnham said the Digital City Festival should be used to “build Greater Manchester as a digital city region” and to “build the new world, post-pandemic”.
