Callum Murphy said:
“Since moving back to the Island nine months ago, I’ve been wanting to organise an event where digital marketeers can come together to learn new skills.
“Over a barista-made coffee and a slice of cake, The Skill Exchange offers digital marketeers and business owners an opportunity to learn about the latest trends, technologies and strategies to enhance their business. What’s more, its absolutely free!”
