Hello innovator: how we celebrated Digifest 2023

About Digifest 2023

Over the last three years, we've reimagined learning, teaching and research together. We've evolved practices, created novel solutions, and used technology in new ways. We have all been innovators.

In these difficult times, when off-the-shelf solutions might be out of reach, that creativity, ingenuity and resilience are needed more than ever. How can we think differently to improve inclusivity, sustainability, hybrid working and digital inequality?

Celebrating innovation in all its forms

Digifest 2023's programme explored:

  • Learning, teaching and resources: creating the tools to deliver rich, forward-thinking content to inspire your learners in your day-to-day job – and beyond.
  • Research: from methods to management, putting researchers at the heart of the conversation to develop new ideas and insights for the challenges ahead
  • Leadership and culture: how to create a culture of innovation at your organisation and prepare the way for ground-breaking, meaningful change
