🟠 Barnsley Startup Meetup 🔵 Thursday 14th May 🟠

The date is set for the next event and it's not to be missed! Join marketer Laura Stead ⭐ FCIM for a fast-paced talk on how start-ups can build brand awareness without living on social media.

When you first start your business you think you’re going to be 24/7 hustle, working on product and delivering value for customers.

The reality is that you quite often end up spending a lot more of your time doing tasks that seem far removed from the reason you started a business in the first place.

Take promotion for example, sometimes it feels like you’ve accidentally signed up to be a full-time content creator, instead of doing the work you actually enjoy.

Laura will be covering what’s working now, from search and discoverability to authentic marketing, community, collaboration and in-person activity, you’ll leave with simple, practical ideas to promote your business on a start-up budget.

And that’s not all, you also get to spend some time with the lovely entrepreneurs of Barnsley!

Come along and find out what we’re all about.

The Details:

📆 Thursday 14th May
⏰ 17:30 – 19:30
📍 Downstairs @ The Old No. 7, 7 Market Hill, Barnsley, S70 2PX

We were incredibly proud to host Barnsley Council's opening event for phase one of The Seam Digital Campus and launch of the Yorkshire Rose sculptures on Monday evening.

The Barnsley Youth Choir sounded incredible in our building and the show continued outside with a mesmerising performance by LIMIT ZERO before the Roses took centre stage with a spectacular display of light and sound which wowed the crowds.

Thanks to all of our staff, partners, the wider DMC community, and to the performers and attendees for making it such a special night.

The public realm, with three beautiful gardens, and Lower Seam car park are both now open following the event with the Roses - a symbol of Barnsley's status as the UK's first government-backed Tech Town - standing proudly above the newly regenerated area.

It's a fantastic space right on our doorstep and one we're sure we'll all enjoy for years to come.

🎉 On International Women's Day 2026, we're celebrating three years of our DMC Women's Group! 🎉

This year's theme is Give To Gain, a campaign that encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration. We're so proud that our DMC Women's Group does just that!

Our members, speakers and organisers give so generously through sharing knowledge, resources, training, giving support and their time; and that is what makes the group such a success.

We've seen our members steadily grow over the last three years, and we're excited to welcome more new faces in the years to come.

Keep a look out for our next session - Thursday 16th April - which will go live soon!
