Digital City Festival is the annual event series exploring what makes a leading digital city. 

The festival brings together the leaders, creators and change-makers who are shaping the future of digital. 

The aim: to unite everyone working across tech, marketing, ecommerce, media and creative as one global community on the Digital City Network online platform for two weeks — and beyond.

The 2021 festival will offer a truly digital experience, hosted on the Digital City Network. From April 12th-23rd 2021, the festival will see a diverse range of sessions and events broadcast online to a global audience. 

The network will be accessible via your browser, or the free mobile app — more details coming soon.
