MORE than 3,000 delegates from the global tech community are set to descend upon Belfast in June for Digital DNA 2019.
Ireland's leading business and technology event is taking place on June 18 and 19 at St George's Market.
This year's event promises to be the biggest yet, with a packed schedule of over 170 speakers spread across five stages, over 100 exhibitors and a record attendance.
Digital DNA chief executive, Simon Bailie said this year's showpiece promises to be "one of the most exciting yet".
"Once again we are developing a unique line up of speakers made up of some of the giants in the local and global tech community."
“Not only will the event be a great place to learn from peers, it will also allow the local tech sector can come and collaborate, either as a business or an organisation looking to expand their reach. Digital DNA can provide the perfect vehicle for organisations to forge new relationships, build new partnerships or gain exposure to new sectors which would otherwise be unavailable," he added.
For a second consecutive year, Digital DNA will be sponsored by PwC.
Seamus Cushley, director of new ventures at PwC said they are proud to support the Belfast event.
"Without question whatever industry you’re in, your organisation must change for a digital world. In our 21st Global CEO Survey, 81 per cent of respondents agree technological progress will fundamentally change their organisation. And the pressure to move faster is unrelenting," he said.
“Digital DNA is a great opportunity to share our story with the industry and to showcase the work we’re doing to deliver the technological solutions organisations need to compete and grow.
“We look forward to hearing from others in the sector and also share our learnings with them to help the Northern Ireland technology sector blossom.”
Support for Digital DNA 2019 has been strong with Danske Bank announcing a two-year sponsorship deal to highlight its ongoing investment in digital and Tourism NI partnering with the event for the first time to showcase technology innovations in the tourism sector.
