Leeds Digital Festival is an open-platform celebration of all things tech and digital in the Leeds City Region.
As an open platform, anyone can host an event, and it’s free to do so. Whether it’s coding, FinTech, social media, AI, HealthTech, data, start-ups, digital music, cyber security or AR/VR – the Leeds Digital Festival is open to all things tech.
Starting off as a few big ideas among local tech leaders in 2016, the Leeds Digital Festival has evolved into a grand showcase of the innovation that is happening in Leeds on a regional, national and international level.
What began as a series of 56 events, has since grown to include over 200 events every year. In fact, Leeds Digital Festival has gained status as the largest ‘open’ tech event in the UK!
Set to take place from Monday 16th to Friday 27th September 2024, the next edition of the Leeds Digital Festival will continue to celebrate the people and organisations who make Leeds and the North such a vibrant hub for the digital sector.
We’ve even added an annual mini-fest to the calendar, which runs every April (keep your eyes peeled for the date announcement!).
The Festival is where it all started and, in 2023, the team behind it brought Leeds Digital to life to help shout out about all the great things that the city’s digital ecosystem has to offer year round.
