Upcoming event – ‘disruptive spaces for the new creative economy’

, , , , , , , ,

Hosted as part of Birmingham Digital Week, I am working with Birmingham City University on an event being held at Birmingham Open Media,  one of the city’s most newest and talked-about spaces, for a one day event all about the future of cities and what is making the new creative economy tick.

Birmingham is a city buzzing with imagination and experimentation. Its emerging and disruptive creative and technology networks contribute not only to the city’s efficiency and sustainability; they are also what make Brum so unpredictable and full of possibility.

This is your opportunity to engage with switch on to and share what’s going on in the city right now, through a series of debates, provocative discussions and, in the true spirit of disruption, to play and to dabble as well.
What better place than the new BOMLab to do this, to meet some of the most active folks in Birmingham’s creative community as well as some international superstars in this arena.Contributors confirmed so far include:
– Stefan Shaw, Creative Lead, Content Innovation, BBC
– Mark Brill – Leading Strategist for Mobile, Innovation and Creative Technologies
– Marcos Garcia, Director of MediaLab Prado, Madrid
– Dr Steve Harding – Head of Transforming the Region, Birmingham City University
– Karen Newman – Director of Birmingham Open Media

The event will also introduce new things that are happening in Birmingham, such as our new upcoming monthly MakerMonday series – accessible events where we will share skills, ideas and projects around creativity and technologies in a thematic, practical and jargon free way.

———–

The biggest contributor to this event is ‘you’.

The most persuasive means of engagement is to get everyone ‘taking part’ and in on the ‘action’ and we hope to get you fully involved in co-creation and collaboration as well.

So If you’re a creative, technologist, designer, maker, doer, scientist, academic, policy maker or visionary with a passion to co-design and experiment, this event is most definitely for you.

We can’t wait to see you sharing your ideas and inspiration as well, so please join us for what promises to be a really interesting day.

Please note places are limited so please book now to avoid missing out.
