June 2016 Sparks Into Action...

With our 7th IGNITE wrapped up, it is clear that IGNITE has become the annual meeting place for disruptive digital leaders. After 2 days packed with breakthrough insight, deep-dive case studies, and innovation stories from the UK’s hottest digital organisations, it’s very hard to pick my top 5 moments of IGNITE. But, after much deliberation, here they are (along with a few nods of appreciation from our attendees)...
