Digital Skills Forum

Digital skills development, AI adoption plus diversity and inclusion in tech.

The Orchard, London | 26 June | 12:00 - 4:00PM

Join us

The Digital Skills Forum brings together decision-makers and influencers across businesses, government and education to explore how we close the UK’s digital skills gap. With 72% of UK firms reporting a digital skills shortage and the economic cost estimated to reach £27.6 billion by 2030, the issue has never been more important. 

At our upcoming session, we’ll be exploring three key themes: digital skills development; AI adoption and impact; and diversity and inclusion in tech.

What can you expect from the afternoon?

  • Hear from keynote speakers on the evolution of the Digital Skills Forum and ways you can get involved
  • Network with senior professionals and influencers across technology and skills development
  • Gain the latest insights from our panel of guest speakers (soon to be announced!)
