Returning for its 7th year and following the success of both 2021 editions, this year Leeds Digital Festival will host a three-day programme of events in April, followed by a two-week line-up of world class tech content in September.
Unlike the open-platform Festival in the Autumn, the April edition will be curated by the Festival team and feature a much smaller lineup of events. New for this year, the April Festival will also be themed around sustainability, and will highlight the ways that the tech sector in Leeds City region, and beyond, is helping in the fight against climate change.
“I’m really pleased that in 2022 the Festival will once again feature an April edition ahead of the main event in September. The decision to introduce the theme of sustainability to the Spring Festival was made in order to highlight the incredible work being done by companies in the city region, and to stress the importance of developing and utilising tech that can help us to build a sustainable future for both people and planet.”
Stuart Clarke, Festival Director
