You can now apply to host a fringe event as part of Digital City Festival 2024!
Digital City Festival, the annual event series that brings together the digital and tech sectors from the North and beyond, is returning to Manchester from 15-19 April.
Alongside a number of exciting anchor events organised by the team at Prolific North, the festival is also inviting companies and individuals to host their own fringe events for free across the week. By hosting a fringe event, it’s an opportunity to take the stage, share your ideas, and build your community as part of Digital City Festival.
Over the years, a special mix of fringe events have been part of Digital City Festival from the launch of SocialNorth, female tech founder nights, to ecommerce dinners and digital networking.

On Tuesday 16 April, we’ll be hosting the Made in the North Summit and exhibition, a collaborative event with industry figures across the broadcast sector. Here, we’ll be examining the key challenges and opportunities the sector is facing, and explore how we can strengthen the North’s media and broadcasting sectors to take on London and beyond.
