Weekly Thought Leadership Digest
Digital Leaders Week - Thursday Roundup
It is with a genuine tear in my eye that we approach the end of #DLWeek. However, the summer solstice looks like it is bringing the summer sunshine at last.

Thursday was our biggest day yet, with 54 events all over the UK. The biggest challenge we face is picking the events to report back on, but with such a wide range, your best bet is always to keep up to date with everything happening on Twitter using #DLWeek.

The big news yesterday was that at the 7th Annual Digital Leaders 100 Awards dinner, the big winners were BAME women in Tech. We are proud of the independence and diversity of our judging panel, which selected these winners for award categories which do not have specific BAME or diversity categories.

Today, Friday we have: Financial inclusion in Scotland, The Digital Catalyst Conference in Newcastle; Mobile security in Wales; AI with the Data Lab in Glasgow; and an online Conference for game developers - enjoy! .With my daily apologies to the 30 events taking place not mentioned above!

A huge thanks to all our #UKWide partners who are making #DLWeek possible.

- Robin Knowles, Founder & CEO, Digital Leaders
