We recently announced the first three sessions at the DCF fringe – ‘Transforming Training with VR/AR’, ‘Smart Cities Manchester’, and ‘#AmafestUK’. The full range of Digital City Festival events are listed on its website.
Speaking at the time, Festival Director Martyn Collins said: “Hosting an event as part of the festival fringe will provide companies with the chance to engage with the industry in whichever way they want.”
Companies, campaigns, educators and more are still invited to become a central part of the Digital City Festival week by putting on their own fringe event at the week-long festival.
