About the Digital Legacy Conference
The Digital Legacy Conference is an annual conference that explores and celebrates the positive impact technology can have within the end of life and bereavement.
The Digital Legacy Conference is a not for profit event. Its aim is to empower professionals with this increasingly important area. Through awareness, discussions and the sharing of knowledge, professionals are able to adapt their own practice and policies in order to better serve patients, families and different communities.

Why this conference is important
Modern day technologies are changing the world. The ways in which we plan for death and remember our loved one’s are increasingly moving into the digital realm. Health, social care and palliative care professionals need to be able to adapt practice, communication, policies and procedures to better support our ever increasingly, digitally mature society.
Who is the Digital Legacy Conference for?
The Digital Legacy Conference is for those involved in care planning, social care, healthcare, palliative, hospice and bereavement professionals. It is also relevant for policy makers, technologists and academics working within this sector.
