Supporting DigiFest for a third year
Lightning Fibre first supported Eastbourne DigiFest in 2024, followed by further sponsorship last year. Returning in 2026 gives the team another opportunity to back an event focused on Eastbourne's digital and technology sector.
Lightning Fibre will also have a stand at the event, where visitors can meet and speak directly with senior members of the Lightning Fibre team. It's an opportunity for local businesses and professionals to find out more about how Lightning Fibre works with businesses across the region.
Joe Brownell, Head of Business Partnerships at Lightning Fibre, said:
“Eastbourne DigiFest is a great opportunity for local businesses and professionals to look at how technology is changing the way we work.
As technology develops, having the right infrastructure in place becomes increasingly important, and we’re proud to be helping improve connectivity across East Sussex with our full fibre network. We’re pleased to be supporting DigiFest again this year and look forward to speaking with businesses and visitors at the event.”
