Digital Mission to New York, Feb 2013 - First Group of Companies Announced
We recently announced the exciting news that the Digital Mission will be returning with its fourth expedition to New York next Spring, from 18th - 22nd February 2013. The trip is coinciding with Social Media Week New York in order to allow companies to explore the 150+ events, covering extensive topics along the vein of social media throughout the week.
We are very thrilled to announce that the first set of companies have been chosen for the mission and are all set to venture out to NYC in Feb. See below for information on the companies as well as their contact details in case you want to get in touch prior to the trip.
We still have some spaces left for the mission, and you can still apply to come along. Also, don't forget if you are a London based firm wanting to come along, UKTI London have up to 20 grants of £500 available as a contribution towards the trip.
We are going to be announcing the companies attending the mission in small groups, so check out the first set of awesome peeps that will be coming along on the trip.
