BEYOND 2024
24–27 November, Media City, Salford
What makes a world-leading creative city? With compelling stories from the UK and around the world, this year's conference will explore the building blocks and game plans that have brought creative cities to life. We'll hear how innovation can flourish, and how technology will shape future city regions. We'll delve into the roles of creative networks, hubs, cultural and research institutions, talent pipelines, networks, policy and culture. We'll learn about bold strategies placing creativity at the heart of urban growth, the rise of new creative cities, and how they navigate the challenges of change.
