The summit will shine a spotlight on priority action for closing the digital skills gap. It will reflect on the progress made so far and demonstrate the growing momentum to energise us all on the action to come.

We’re now happy to share the full agenda.

• Our keynote speech will be delivered by Prof. Simeon Yates, Professor of Digital Culture at the University of Liverpool. Simeon has more than 30 years’ experience in understanding digital skills, access and culture, frequently working with and advising government, industry and the third sector.

• Our first panel will feature industry perspectives from Accenture, City and Guilds, the Labour Party and Digital Boost on both the challenges and opportunities of closing the digital skills gap.
• In our second panel, we’ll hear from Marks and Spencer, Nationwide, Travis Perkins and Dorset Council on how they’re already successfully upskilling their people.
• We’ll also shine a spotlight on priority action for the rest of 2024, while reflecting on the progress made so far, with some exciting announcements about our joint mission to close the workforce digital skills gap…

Building on the success of Accelerate 2023 and 2024, the summit is supported and hosted by the City of London.
