Our annual #GoDigital conference is back for 2020!
Taking place online on Thursday 26th November, this year’s theme is ‘Get Future Ready, Survive and Thrive’ and will showcase the many ways digital can help businesses to get back on track after COVID-19.
The pandemic has shown how important it is for businesses to embrace technology, whether they want to communicate with their customers, improve productivity or ensure their business will be around for years to come. #GoDigital20 has everything Greater Lincolnshire SMEs need to adapt to an increasingly digital world, delivered in the form of expert talks, specialist-led workshops, keynote speeches and insightful panel discussions.
This year’s keynote speaker is Practical Futurist and former IBM Global Managing Partner Andrew Grill. In his talk ‘Workplace of the Future,’ Andrew will provide insights into how the modern workplace is evolving, and how your business can not only adapt to these changes but use them to your advantage. Andrew has previously shared his wisdom with brands including Nike, Hermes, Nestle and Vodafone, and his practical advice can be applied to your business immediately, allowing you to reap the benefits in no time at all.
Other digital experts appearing at #GoDigital20 include Daniel Westlake - Managing Director of Lincoln-based web design agency Cursor - whose workshop is dedicated to the free and low-cost tools he recommends for helping your business work smarter, and Prabhat Shah, Founder of Online Seller UK, who will be showing small and growing businesses how to successfully sell online.
Councillor Colin Davie, Executive Councillor for Economy and Place, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work, both now and in the future. But it also provides opportunities for businesses to grow and prosper.
“From home-working to communicating urgent updates via social media, digital has been crucial to the survival of businesses during COVID-19. But technology cannot only help businesses to survive during this difficult time, but thrive.
“The #GoDigital20 conference has everything they need to adapt to this new world.”
