DE 2014 The Application of Digital Innovation

The Fifth Annual Digital Economy All Hands Meeting will be held this year in London.

The RCUK Digital Economy Theme seeks to transform the lives of people, communities and businesses through the design and deployment of innovative information and communication technologies. The Digital Economy All Hands conference is a multidisciplinary environment in which innovative thinkers, researchers, and entrepreneurs are able to share ideas about how to make an impact on society across a range of sectors.

Delegates will hear from expert speakers and leading researchers, take part in exploratory workshops,
and witness the latest innovations and prototypes through technology demonstrators.
