JISC: DIGIFEST 2026

Bringing together bold ideas and practical solutions to help the sector thrive in our ever-evolving digital world.

Jisc DigiFest brings together forward-thinking ideas and practical approaches to help education thrive in a rapidly changing digital landscape - and AppsAnywhere will be there as an exhibitor.

As technology continues to influence how institutions teach, learn, and operate, DigiFest provides a space for educators, digital leaders, and innovators to explore how the sector can move forward with purpose, building futures that are ethical, inclusive, and centred around people.

Through a programme focused on themes such as conscious digital futures, reimagining the student experience, and navigating an increasingly digital world, DigiFest explores how innovation can support not only transformation, but also sustainability, wellbeing, and equity across education.

From AI literacy and curriculum co-design to digital skills development and sector-wide disruptors, DigiFest 2026 offers practical insight and actionable ideas that institutions can apply today while planning confidently for the future.

Together, the community will examine how the sector can go beyond responding to change — and instead take a leading role in shaping it.
