The Business of Digital is taking place as part of the Leeds Digital Festival.
From 8th-12th November 2010 Leeds will be celebrating cutting-edge marriage of creativity and technology in the city’s first digital festival.
The Leeds city region is home to the very best in digital innovation and creative production – from games developers, marketing agencies, applications developers, web agencies, specialists in e-learning, TV factual and drama and film production. We have designed this week as a celebration of the unique and innovative individual and collective talent of the city and it will culminate fittingly in DADI awards on Friday 12 November.
Brought to you by Leeds Media in association with Leeds, York and North Yorkshire Chambers of Commerce, Marketing Leeds, Screen Yorkshire, Holbeck Urban Village and other partners from across the city, Leeds Digital Festival will see a week of events, seminars and showcases taking place in the city and linking with other major events across the region including Hull Digital Live. The week will celebrate the digital expertise across the region from freelance and viral artists to leading digital agencies and award-winning client teams.
