About Digifest
10-11 March 2020
Digifest is the edtech event for middle and senior-level managers and change leaders in further and higher education.
Taking place annually over two days, Digifest celebrates the power and possibilities of digital technologies and how they’ll be shaping the ways we teach, learn, live and work in the 21st century.
The evolution of the digital citizen
‘Industry 4.0’ technologies are already all around us, changing the ways in which we live, work and learn. By 2022, the skills required to perform most jobs will have shifted and 54% of all employees will require re-skilling and upskilling.
So how do we prepare for this transformation?
Digifest 2020 captures the excitement and challenge of managing that evolutionary change – a challenge that will see wholesale changes to the jobs market where 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 have as yet to be invented!
Digifest 2020 themes
Over the two days we’ll explore:
- Education 4.0 and the world of work
- Lifelong learning
- Ethics and 4.0
- Learning spaces with digital injection
- Education 4.0: technology in action, sharing best practice
Doing something different? We want to hear from you and your students!
