The doors are open once again at Digital City Expo, and after a stormy night the sun is shining once again for the inaugural event.

Yesterday, thousands of people from across Digital came along to Manchester Central in the heart of th city to meet and collaborate, not only meeting influential exhibitors from digital marketing, eCommerce, tech and more – but hearing from a wide range of thought leaders too.

A number of stages were full to bursting with eager attendees – with people often spilling into the venue’s aisles to hear from names including Hootsuite’s Hope Kerby and Accord’s Jon Bezalel.
