The annual NW DEPTH Digital Conference scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 is a unique opportunity to bring together leading national and international experts to explore the opportunities and challenges arising from the accelerating pace of digital transformation.

As digital technologies continue to reshape industries, workplaces and communities, the conference will provide a platform for discussion, collaboration and knowledge sharing on the trends that will influence the future of the Cross-Border North West City Region.

Whether you represent a large organisation, a small business, a start-up, a community enterprise, or are simply interested in developing your own digital skills and career opportunities, the conference offers valuable insights and networking opportunities for all.

Over the course of four annual conferences, the series will examine emerging digital developments and identify the key trends most relevant to the region’s economic growth, workforce development and digital innovation over the medium to long term.

The conference series forms a key commitment within the North West Digital Employment Pathways Training Hub (NW DEPTH) project, supported through the PEACEPLUS Programme and managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

Building on the success of previous events, each conference will continue to raise the bar for excellence, establishing a strong legacy for the NW DEPTH initiative over the four-year programme.

The conferences are designed by the North West Tertiary Education Cluster (NWTEC) to create a unique forum to build strategic alliances and strengthen partnerships to advance the region’s digital future.

NWTEC is a well-established strategic alliance of all four publicly funded tertiary education providers in the North West City Region: Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Ulster University (UU), North West Regional College (NWRC) and Donegal Education and Training Board.
