A hugely-successful event to help Shropshire businesses harness the power of digital technology is to return later this year.

The Shropshire Digital Summit will bring together a host of leading experts for a full day of ‘insight, innovation and inspiration’ to help businesses make the most of new technology on September 23.

The free event – organised by the Shropshire Growth Hub – will feature digital experts, business leaders and county enterprises examining some of the key areas of digital technology, including the use of AI, cyber security and new trends in social media.

It is being staged at The Wroxeter from 9.15am-4.15pm and includes a number of expert-led breakout sessions, a question-and-answer panel session, free website health checks, networking opportunities, a buffet lunch and refreshments.

Anna Sadler of Shropshire Growth Hub said last year’s inaugural Digital Summit had been a huge success – and this year’s promised to be even better.
