Taking advantage of the Digital Growth Programme


Hundreds of businesses have booked their place on the Digital Growth Programme’s 2019 conferences – designed to keep them ahead of the game in the world of technology. Dates for the highly-anticipated


events were announced in December, and places are already filling fast. Now more businesses across the region are being urged to book their place and take advantage of the programme, while places are available.


‘We’ve already been overwhelmed by the initial response of local businesses – it shows the appetite that companies in this area have to grow and thrive’


The speaker line-up has been


confirmed, and the day promises to deliver a host of expert advice - from getting the most from social media channels to making sure businesses can stand out from the crowd in online searches. The fully-funded events in


Nottingham and Leicester will showcase the very latest developments, helping SMEs to stay at the cutting edge of new technology, tools and techniques. Diane Beresford, Deputy Chief


Executive at the Chamber, said: “Following the success of last year’s events there was great demand to deliver these conferences. “We’ve already been


overwhelmed by the initial response of local businesses – it shows the appetite that companies in this area have to grow and thrive, which is fantastic to see and it’s great that we can support that development.” The full-day sessions will build


on the success of the programme’s conferences in 2018, which saw 98% of the 600 delegates saying they would like the opportunity to attend another.
