Each February, Greater Manchester’s vibrant digital and tech sector takes centre stage as Manchester Digital hosts the Digital Skills Festival – a week long celebration of the sector, its businesses and people.
With opportunities to get involved for organisations, educators, tech professionals and those hoping to break into the industry, the festival welcomes all as we celebrate the region’s successes, address the challenges we are facing and forge lasting connections.
Digital Skills Festival 2025 is set to be our most ambitious yet, and we want your business to shine at the heart of it. This year’s festival will focus on key themes—pathways into technology, talent, diversity, leadership, and of course, skills. Highlights include a weekend long Hackathon with our headline sponsor, an exciting tech competition for school-aged children; Future Innovators, a celebration of diversity led by our flagship program Digital Her, the return of our ever-successful Talent Day with an emphasis on early pathway options, and an exclusive VIP Leaders Evening, Digital Skills Feast, to wrap up the week in style.
