This event has now ended.

Manchester Digital's Digital Skills Festival will be launched with our Conference Day, bringing together industry experts, thought leaders and key stakeholders from across the sector for an afternoon of panels, talks and networking opportunities as we discuss some of the key challenges and trends impacting the industry. 

The Conference will also see the launch of this year's Digital Skills Audit. 

The afternoon will be welcomed by Katie Gallagher, Managing Director at Manchester Digital followed by a keynote speaker,  industry speakers and panel guests – all of whom will be announced soon.

The Manchester Digital Skills Audit is an annual audit of over 250 digital and technology businesses, identifying new or emerging trends as well as key issues that the industry faces and skill sets and job roles of growing importance. The findings from the 2024 Skills Audit will be discussed with analysis on what these findings mean for the sector.
