There was a buzz in Manchester last week as digital and tech leaders came together for a week filled with inspiring talks, interactive sessions and thought-provoking panel discussions during Digital City Festival.
Three specially curated events were hosted by Prolific North, tackling both the pressing issues and opportunities facing the digital community, alongside a variety of exciting partner events and a special after party to end the week.
Top industry figures featured as speakers during the festival, from the likes of boohoo, AO, Microsoft, Starling Bank, Manchester City Council and plenty more! One week on, here are our top highlights from another jam-packed Digital City Festival.
Digital Leaders Summit and Reception
The festival kicked off on Thursday 23rd March for a special invite-only Digital Leaders Summit and Reception, hosted at Bruntwood SciTech’s The Bright Building.
Bev Craig, the leader of Manchester City Council, opened the event describing the festival as “timely” after Greater Manchester secured a trade deal with North Carolina and touched on the importance of devolution and digital inclusion for the region.
