The creative industries are facing a rapidly shifting employment landscape driven by technological innovation and evolving generational expectations. Businesses that adapt to these changes will thrive; those that don’t risk falling behind.

Join us on 11th September for a dynamic and thought-provoking session on how shifting societal norms and AI are remoulding work environments and workflows. Tailored specifically for professionals across creative disciplines, this session will unpack the latest workplace trends, explore how AI is reshaping roles and processes and offer concrete strategies to stay ahead.

What you will learn:

  • Creative-focused future trends: Discover how AI is transforming creative team dynamics, project workflows, and industry-wide expectations.
  • Generational insight & opportunities: Understand how emerging generational traits intersect with AI-driven shifts and learn how to harness this synergy.
  • Practical first steps: Gain five actionable strategies creatives can take now to attract, engage, and develop talent in an AI-enhanced creative environment.

You’ll also get to hear from Marissa Lewis Peart (Senior UX Designer at Tesco) and Katie Green (Western Training Provider Network) in an exciting fire-side chat, where we will be exploring driving ambition and progression, from an employee and national business perspective.

Who is this event for?

This event is specifically for creative industry managers, agency leads, team leaders, and anyone helping chart the future of creative work. Whether you’re overseeing designers, writers, strategists, or broader creative teams, you’ll find invaluable insight to inform your leadership in the age of AI.
