Digital Britain Summit
The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform have asked ConferenceXtra to film and stream the Digital Britain Summit tomorrow from the British Library. It’s a star-studded line-up with CEO’s of the major telecoms and media players. Tickets are long sold out so the live stream is the only option in town.
Visit www.digitalbritainforum.org.uk to see the feed.

We’re really sorry that those of you who tried to access the stream this morning were unable too.
