Destination Digital – Wigan's Digital Leaders
Event Information
Description
Wigan’s Digital Leaders in business, education, health & social care and the voluntary sectors take to the stage to talk about their own digital journey and why we need to continue on the destination to become Digital Wigan. A follow-up to the highly successful October 2016 event, where industry leading experts inspired the audience to take advantage of the benefits of digital.
The Digital Leaders panel session will be followed by a series of sector-themed interactive workshops. Every delegate will have the opportunity to attend workshop/breakout sessions.
The focus of these sessions are:
How can delegates develop their own digital strategy with input from subject matter experts to support their business area or area of expertise and identify your key priorities moving forward. There will be networking opportunities with those who can collaborate, help or influence and practical advice available for your business, profession or community.
