Besides inspiring talks from industry leaders, delegates will meet the likes of YouGov, ShipStation, AdRoll, Klaviyo and many more exhibitors yet to be announced.

The expo will attract companies from across the UK and further afield, looking to tap into the North’s significant marketing, eCommerce and tech spend in 2020 and beyond.

Digital City Festival begins in Manchester on March 9th, and consists of five days’ worth of digital-first events all across the city. Digital City Expo will form its cornerstone, with the new Digital City Awards taking place on March 12th, and a host of fringe events, networking and development sessions also taking place over the course of the week.
