The second episode of the Sheffield Digital Podcast is here and this time we’re joined by a very special guest in Mark Gannon, Sheffield City Council’s new CIO.
Having recently announced our partnership with the Council, this is a great opportunity for you to hear all about how it happened, what it means and what we hope it will bring. The episode also includes a brief update on the city’s various tech-hubs-in-progress and the release of our new Slack guide and code of conduct.
There’s also time to look ahead to a few events for your calendar. Make a brew, grab your headphones and settle in.
New intro music
