Martyn Collins, Festival Director, 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.
With special guests from a number of UK cities attending, the event will kick off with a panel discussion about the startup, investment and innovation scene in different locations – including which industries, startups and spaces you should really be tracking in 2020 and beyond.
The talks will then dive into an hour of structured roundtable networking where you’ll get to spend time at different tables meeting fellow attendees and learning more about their businesses, goals, challenges and potential ways to collaborate.
