The north’s largest tech and digital skills festival has announced that it will take place in February 2025, bringing together tech leaders, universities, colleges, and job seekers to connect, learn and develop the tech sector of tomorrow.
A number of new events for the festival have already been announced, including a Digital Skills Feast for tech leaders, a weekend hackathon called Hackafuture, Digital Her: Driving Diversity day and Future Innovators Day – an exciting tech competition for school children.
There will also be the flagship event Talent Day, which welcomes job seekers, from students to career changers, to meet more than 40 of the leading tech businesses from across the region. This year’s Talent Day will take place at New Century.
Katie Gallagher OBE, Manchester Digital’s managing director, said: “Manchester, one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech hubs, is home to over 86,000 tech professionals and the Digital Skills Festival is the perfect platform to reflect and focus on the workforce that we need to build and skill for the future.
“It’s an opportunity for tech businesses to showcase their commitment to innovation, diversity and community impact while strengthening the link between industry and education.”
