Digital Jersey CEO Tony Moretta said: “We were determined the show would go on in 2020, regardless of how Covid has forced us all to rethink the way we work. We know many people are a bit ‘webinared out’, but we will be bringing our week to life with punchy sessions. And there’s no limit on who can look in.”
