Events & conferences

As well as running regular seminars, learning opportunities and networking events, Manchester Digital runs the flagship Big Chip Awards, the cutting edge ecommerce conference  - Cartologie and the region’s largest digital career fair - Talentday.   We are also key partners in Sascon, the UK’s leading conference for search, analytics and social media.  Members are entitled to heavy discounts or in some cases free places at most of these events.

Local & national voice

We work with government, the education sector and other key institutions to make sure the digital industries have a strong effective voice and a good environment to flourish and prosper.  Manchester Digital is part of the OneDigital Alliance, this means that by working with partners in London, Bristol and Brighton we have a strong national voice and can lobby and influence policy and decision makers about issues that concern our industry.
