Online is killing the high street? We dont think its that simple. Digital is changing everything, yes, but its opening up unparalleled opportunities. Its never been easier to communicate about local, on a global scale. Over the next two days youll hear from thirty people taking advantage of the digital revolution, and youll meet many more in our audience. Youve travelled from all over the UK (and Holland welkom!), from town teams, local government, retail and technology. Lets share ideas and learn from each other, towards a digital future for our towns. Welcome to Digital High Street 2013. Alistair Johnston, Redlab,
