With 300+ speakers across over 40 events, Digital Shoreditch was always going to be a busy event and we couldn’t wait to get stuck in with all the digital creativity.

Digital Shoreditch was created to bring the digital community together. Basically, the content was crowd sourced from the community, voted on by the community and the same community created 80 per cent of the events at Digital Shoreditch so it was truly a collaborative affair.

The event spanned over two weeks, with several EML Wildfire clients holding tabletop sessions. There were also chances to meet a range of creative, entrepreneurs and investors. Below are what the days had to offer:

INSPIRE – A day for young people looking for a future career in digital, with stories and workshops from the most outstanding people in the area

INNOVATE – For businesses that want to leverage the amazing talent and knowledge that is locked in local universities.

CAREER –Digital Shoreditch’s Career day was a chance for creative minds to get hired, with premier agencies, start-ups and brands looking to recruit with how-to sessions workshops and CV surgeries.
