Why come to Digpen?

New perspectives, new voices
Experience a rich mix of design, development, marketing and business topics, much of it from new speaking talent you won't see on the regular web conference circuit.

Full-day web conference
The main event runs 11am-5pm, with four sessions of talks and workshops on all things web and digital. If you can't make the full-day, you're welcome to come and go any time.

Parallel sessions
Breakout format for specialist sessions lets you choose the topics most relevant to you. The full schedule will be on the website so you can plan your day.

Plenty of breaks
We build in lots of downtime for the all important 'hallway track;' so you have time to meet everyone.

Free entry to Eden Project for you, plus a discount for family and friends
Spend some time exploring the wonderful Eden Project either before the conference starts or during lunch. Bring the family and they can enjoy a BIG discount on the normal entry fee too.

Tea, coffee and biscuits
To fuel your brain. Just bring or buy your own lunch.

Unbeatable value
Thanks to our volunteer organisers, all our speakers giving their time for free, and the invaluable support of the Eden Project Digital Team and our other sponsors, we're able to bring you all this for the wallet-friendly price of just £20.
