Last year’s Digital Day was our biggest ever. With over 200 schools and more than 12,000 students enthusiastically taking part and challenging each other to win the Digital Day champion title. All the schools involved were supported by over 150 digital and tech companies within the BIMA community, that rolled up their sleeves to inspire the younger generations and share their knowledge and the vast opportunities available in the industry.
The 13th edition of Digital Day is taking place on 13th November this year. Applications are now open, with the deadline for sign-ups set for Friday, 23rd August. Join us in inspiring the next generation of digital talent—sign up for Digital Day today.
