Thursday 28 September: Investment, Innovation, Impact
Day one explores the impact of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme with guests from across the network. We’ll hear from some inspiring creatives about how they took their businesses from idea, through investment, to in-the-world, and explore some amazing examples of social impact from Creative Informatics-funded projects that show how small companies can create far reaching change. We’ll also highlight exciting new opportunities for those working in virtual production, and explore the potential of creative AI.

Thursday will close with a discussion and performance from singer and producer Chagall. In Unlocked, Chagall blends live vocals with a stunning interactive light-art installation, bringing captivating physicality and human intimacy to electronic music.

Friday 29 September: Powering Creative Connections
Day two is all about making connections. We have inspirational keynotes from creators and curators and we’ll be hearing from some incredible organisations who are supporting creatives through community networks. We’ll be looking at how data can be used to broaden access to creative work, and chatting to practitioners who are making a big impact through sustainable practice and the disruption of traditional supply models.

We’ll be finishing the day with a special appearance from award-winning recording artist and technology innovator, Imogen Heap, in conversation with broadcaster, author and activist Gemma Cairney, followed by a drinks reception.
