Nicola Passam , Fundraising and sponsorship manager at Bath Digital Festival said , “ Digital and technology has become so ingrained in our day-to-day activity it ’ s almost something we don ’ t even think about . Yet somehow , it feels like the world of tech is moving at full throttle and , if you ’ re not on board , you are quickly being left behind .
“ AI , automation , flexible working ; there ’ s been a lot of change over the past few years . Whatever your interests , there ’ s something for everyone at Bath Digital Festival . Keep an eye on the website for the latest release of events and make sure you bag your early bird ticket from the 31st August . See you there !”
