Public Sector Connect and our partners Crown Commercial Service are delighted that following on from the previous two successful events in 2018 and 2019, digitech is back in December 2021 in Manchester, in a brand new hybrid version, and will once again be the year’s largest gathering of public sector technology specialists and technology procurement colleagues. With circa 500 delegates attending in person and 1000s more attending virtually the 2021 event promises to be the biggest and best digitech to date.
Free to attend for public sector delegates and staged in full partnership with Crown Commercial Service digitech21 will see us build on the success of the event in 2018 and 2019, combining physical and virtual high level plenary presentations, dynamic and interactive seminars and a number of more intimate pre-booked master class style sessions, all conducted within the confines of a lively and vibrant exhibition area.
digitech21 will seek to demystify the increasingly complex technology landscape and will showcase a host of public and private sector best practice case studies and the very best solution providers, each of whom are helping organisations to transform and improve the way in which the public sector delivers services to the citizen.
Public sector delegates who have responsibility for procuring technology products and services or are key influencers on procurement decisions will be in attendance and eager to learn what’s available and what’s on the horizon to aid them in their roles, so digitech21 is your perfect opportunity to demonstrate and profile your products, services and expertise.
