The 8th National Digital Conference, ND13: Going Digital, took place on 11th & 12th June 2013 at the Congress Centre in London. Hosted in association with Go ON UK, Lasa and Rewired State, this landmark event brought together an influential network of over 250 senior Government, business and NGO leaders to explore the role that technology can play to transform the nation’s skills, businesses and Government services.

ND13: Going Digital focussed on practical delivery, exploring how to co-design, fund and promote digital skills, enterprise and citizen centric services to make the UK a competitive digital nation. There was an interactive format this year with delegates seated cabaret style to encourage debate, group discussion and a two-way dialogue and feedback between the speakers and delegates.

  R
• Day 2 focussed on Digital Enterprise, examining how to support and drive growth in the SME sector, as well as how to work with and empower Government to support and a sustainable digital economy.
