A financial writer, technology advocate and acclaimed comedian is to host the inaugural Jersey TechAwards.
Dominic Frisby has been performing what's described as a "high-octane" financial game show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
He said: "I like Jersey. I like tech. I like hosting events. It was a no-brainer. Tech transforms the world. It always has and it always will. In recent years, thanks largely to the internet and all things related, tech has been an empowering liberating force for millions, creating countless opportunities for people.
"Over the next 20 years the opportunities tech will bring to the global population that is currently unbanked will be transform lives for the better. We are in the midst of an era of extraordinary improvement.
"There have been Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. We are in the middle of a Technological Revolution that is going to become a Financial Revolution."
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Jersey TechWeek, coming this October 13th-19th. A week full of exciting events celebrating all things tech, including the IoT Hackathon, innovative digital days and the inaugural Jersey TechAwards. #JerseyTechWeek
