In an era of rapid change and increasing complexity, education now faces a period of unprecedented financial challenges and political change.

By focusing on data-informed insights, student-centred approaches, and collaborative partnerships, we empower educators to create inclusive, equitable, and effective learning environments.

This two day in-person and online event brings together the UK’s learning, teaching and research communities to explore fresh solutions and practical strategies for navigating these complexities and shaping the future of learning. As our different presents and potential futures collide, together we find new ways to tackle today’s challenges and create a better tomorrow.

At Digifest we always look ahead at what tomorrow holds, the innovations and the inspirations, but we also keep a firm focus on the here and now. Together, we explore how advances in digital, data and technology are transforming education, research and industry right now and how you can create positive change in your sector.

• Data-informed education: powering the future - Harnessing data to drive innovation and improve outcomes through complexity and uncertainty
• Student success: a holistic approach - Leveraging technology to create engaging and inclusive learning environments
