Modern Jago

You can realise your idea for a wallet application in one week with #DigitalWalletFoundry at Modern Jago, Shoreditch.

Day One of each week is the thinking day where the experts will share perspectives and offer ‘ideas or briefs’. Days Two to Five are for those who choose to develop an application or a business idea.

We are offering expert help on everything from coding to agile project development to business planning.  Sanity check your ideas (or conceive a new one) with help from thought leaders and industry experts. If you’re a one man band or a leader of a team of hundreds, if you have a wallet idea (or want one) this event is for you. There will also be awards and recognition for products developed and/or conceived during the week.

Read on to find out more about the industry experts you’ll come into contact with and what the agenda looks like. Already keen to sign-up? Do it here.
