About DSF Career Day 2026

DSF Career Day brought together people at all stages of their careers, from those looking for their first role or changing direction to career returners and experienced professionals thinking about their next move.

Across the afternoon, attendees heard from industry experts, connected with organisations from across data and tech, met our speakers, grew their networks and picked up advice and insights to support their careers.

It’s important for sponsors to come to events like this because we get to meet a very diverse new breed of people coming onto the market. There are lots of new talent, new skills, returners and people who have taken a career break from work. We also get to have a diverse portfolio of people applying to the roles that we have open right now.

Supporting Career Day with the Data Science Festival gives Digital Futures an advantage because it connects us with the incredible talent that’s part of the DSF community. There are so many incredible people here that we have met and spoken to all day, and all of them are really just looking to get their foot in the door. Being able to connect with them here in this space with like-minded people that want that first opportunity shows the power of an event like this.

Emily Hill Senior Communications & Marketing Manager at Digital Futures

Career Day has not only helped from a brand perspective, so making sure that candidates have a lovely experience meeting us, it also helps us to get our brand out there. It also allows us to tap into markets that maybe we wouldn’t have known about before, so whether that is people who are returning to work that maybe haven’t used LinkedIn, or grads who have just left University and aren’t really sure where to start. I definitely think it helps us.

We have the opportunity to raise our brand and increase our profile, and engage directly with the talent market- it’s been a phenomenal opportunity for us today.
