FoDD is a celebration of digital creativity, innovation and personalities in Reading. For three fun-fuelled days, we’ll create a vibrant hub of inspiration and connection, right in the heart of the town centre. Our mission is to: 1. Connect the digital dots across Reading’s tech eco-system – from schools, start-ups, scale-ups and corporates – and everything in between. The magic happens in collaboration. 2. Curate a programme of thought provoking conversations and discussions that sets the agenda – and a legacy – for Reading’s tech & digital future. 3. Imagine the bright side. We believe that, together, we’ll connect and inspire more digital and tech curious businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs to put their missions, ventures and dreams out there. 4. Celebrate Reading as a brilliant digital destination – for businesses, talent, and tomorrow’s gamechangers. 5. Create an inclusive business community that shines a light on, and gives a platform to, the thriving indie business renaissance happening in our town, from food through to makers.
