This is a unique opportunity for people interested in supporting technology focused innovation in the creative industries to get together and help shape this ambitious nationwide project by sharing their views, ideas and opinions. The outcome will help creative businesses and those who work with them to be well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities, meet technology related challenges and exploit new markets.  We are especially keen to have a diverse mix of companies, academics and intermediaries there to ensure a balanced discussion.
