The Sheffield Digital Showcase will see the creators of five products, services or experiences take to the stage to tell an audience how they did it.

The quarterly event is part ‘talk show’ style presentations and part networking. It is from 5.30pm to 8pm on Thursday June 27 at the Creative Lounge at the Workstation on Paternoster Row in the Cultural Industries Quarter.
