A diverse community of digital artists, thinkers, hackers and makers are busy planning this year's Brighton Digital Festival. There’s still plenty of time for you to get involved.
ORGANISERS' GUIDEBrighton Digital Festival is a big, ambitious, month-long celebration of digital culture which runs throughout September. The festival provides an exciting platform for a community led programme, with organisations from the arts and digital communities, alongside individuals who are passionate about digital culture, producing a festival which last year featured over 100 events, in over 45 venues and spaces, to a combined audience of over 25,000 people.
If you’re interested to know what’s happening, the full programme will launch in July. In the meantime you can sign up for email updates or follow our social feeds.
If you’re thinking of organising an event then please have a look at the Organisers guide for more information.

In September Clearleft will move to a newly refurbished building in Middle Street. Currently, as you can see, it’s a building site. But come September the space will be transformed, offering office space alongside workshop, conference, and event space, which we hope in the longer term will be used by the wider community. To kick things off we’re offering this Space for a exhibition of digital art which will run for the duration of Brighton Digital Festival. If you’re interested in exhibiting please look at the call to artists here.
Sophie Davies-Patrick is Project Manager for Clearleft.

Brighton Digital Festival is produced by a vibrant community of individuals, organisations, venues and supporters across Brighton & Hove and the south east. The festival would, quite literally, not happen without them. As we move towards September this site will feature a full Organisers Directory of all those involved.
There are also a number of partners who contribute support in a variety of other ways. A huge thanks to you all.
