THE 2021 Greater Hamilton Digital Innovation and Smart Agriculture (DISA) Festival started with a bang on Tuesday, bringing huge numbers of people to the Hamilton Exhibition and Conference Centre to view a range of workshops presented by locals and professionals from afar.

The festival had a particular focus on ‘Creating Smart Regions’ and unlocking the digital potential of regional communities – it was around the double the size of the inaugural event in 2019.
