The Digital Festival So Far
The Digital Festival is a celebration of tech, ideas and global innovation.
Through talks, workshops, debates and performance, the Festival creates a space in the heart of Europe where innovators and policymakers can come together to explore new technology and be inspired by digital innovations.
The inaugural edition in 2016 saw over 1,000 tech experts, Meetup groups, industry leaders and policymakers exchange ideas, forge relationships and drive innovation. The Digital Festival 2017 built on this success, with more than 1,200 delegates joining over 90 speakers for an inspiring day of talks, workshops and demos about the digital and tech worlds.
The Digital Festival is where people and innovation connect. Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know about the next edition!
