Headline Partner for Digital City Festival revealed

Digital City Expo on March 11th and 12th brings together four events: Marketing Show North, Tech Show North, eCommerce Show North and the all-new Media Zone. The result will be a unique chance to meet exhibitors from across the digital sphere, all under one roof at Manchester Central Convention Complex.

The festival as whole is already shaping up to be a vital event for the calendar of any digital professional. Members of the Digital City Festival steering panel, the driving force behind making the week an enormous success, include Herb Kim of Thinking Digital; Tim Newns of MIDAS; Sheona Southern of Marketing Manchester; Liz Scott of Tech Nation; and many more.

James Hall, Capita Consulting, said: “Sponsoring Digital City Festival is a great opportunity for the newly-launched Capita Consulting, as it will bring together creators, leaders and change-makers who are shaping the future of digital. 

“We’re excited to partner with the festival in Manchester as part of our regional program supporting digital in the North, spanning three major hubs in Edinburgh, Newcastle and Manchester – where we have existing or planned offices and innovation labs.

“The profile of digital is gaining eminence in the region, with rapid digital transformation and tech investment growing. Supporting events such as Digital City Festival is an important alignment for Capita Consulting to help realise our ambitious growth plans in digital consultancy and a strong desire to grow and attract more people to the talent pool in the region.”

As well as revealing three Lead Sponsors for Digital City Expo – BJSS, Silverchip, and dotdigital – we have also recently announced just a selection of the speakers who will appear at the expo, including names from IBM, the Co-op and Social Chain.

Capita Consulting draws upon Capita’s wider practical, hands-on experience in digital – spanning technology, startups and even academia – to give the best support to clients. Its breadth of expertise makes it an ideal partner for the wide-ranging festival taking place in Manchester in March.

This exciting announcement adds to the anticipation surrounding the festival which is set to unite the national digital scene, attracting exhibitors and delegates from across the UK and beyond to the heart of a growing and thriving digital industry.
