Frome Digital Exchange: Ideas Worth Talking About

A morning of talks and networking for business owners, marketers and creative minds across Somerset, Wiltshire and Bath. There's a lot of creative and marketing talent in Frome, but nothing that brings it together. If you run a business in this part of Somerset or Wiltshire, or you work in marketing, design or anything digital, you'll know the feeling. There's some great digital work happening locally, but there's very little in the way of events or community to tie it all together. So, we've started something closer to home. Frome Digital Exchange is a series of talks and networking events for the talented people doing this work across Somerset, Wiltshire and Bath. This is the first one.
