What our attendees say

... we all felt that we took away some real insight which we can use across our day-to-day working life.

It’s a lot of work to bring together, but every year results in an event which can make Manchester proud!

First thought is just how much I needed it. The great content; Reconnecting with the community; The positive, and often difficult, reinforcement of the what & the why of things we do. So much to distill.

Camp Digital was in many ways a celebration of the ways in which inclusive approaches to digital have the potential to make a profoundly positive difference to people’s lives.
