Two-week event series Digital City Festival launched this morning with an opening event hosted by Professor Andy Miah of the University of Salford, speaking alongside a range of special guests to open the fortnight.
It concluded with a set from DJ Woody, whose audio-visual set kicked off StreamGM, the ethical platform championing talent from the Greater Manchester region from United We Stream.
Digital City Festival 2021 takes place in a truly digital form this year, hosting a wide range of thought leadership and panels on the Digital City Network – across marketing, tech, eCommerce, media and culture – as well as the chance to engage businesses at the exhibition showcase.
The network will also, throughout the next two weeks, host live Q&As, roundtables, cultural events and this year’s Digital City Awards.
