Digital Dorset regularly invites local businesses, staff and public to events to discuss the future of Dorset – but 2020 was different. It was a challenging year with people adapting to new home\/work environments and an uncertain future.\u202f People needed something that would lift their\u202fspirits,\u202fso we ran an event which was both informative and fun, to celebrate, showcase and inspire Dorset.<\/p>\n

The Festival of the Future was an ambitious idea born out of Covid-19 and achieved in under five weeks last year.<\/p>\n

Our 64 sessions ranged from campfire storying telling and rise and shine yoga to robotics in care and how the digital Dorset Care Record can save lives.<\/p>\n

This year we plan to make it even bigger. We will be travelling around Dorset showcasing and experiencing what a smart place looks like and exploring Dorset\u2019s digital future. We will run a full week of hybrid events across Dorset, showing off our beautiful county through sessions which are available both physically and virtually. As always, we will be breaking new ground: a full-fledged hybrid experience is a new concept. And we will have the same fabulous array of speakers and topics that we introduced you to last year.<\/p>\n

In short, it\u2019ll be the same fantastic festival that was so successful last year, but \u2018on tour\u2019.<\/p>\n

If you want to be part of our exciting journey, then sign up now<\/a> for one of our ideas sessions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
