PANEL: Setting the future vision of Creative Technology in the South West
Panel Discussion
Bristol Creative Industries is delighted to be a sponsor of Thursday’s Creative Day at this week’s Bristol Technnology Week, alongside Aer Studios and MyWorld.
Join us for an engaging and interactive panel discussion that will dive into the future of creative technology in our region. Building on the insights from our morning workshop, our panel of industry experts will discuss the untapped potential of our sector and work together to define a shared vision for the future.
Meet the panel:
Briony Phillips | The Bristol Business Bugle | Connector | Facilitator
Gail Caig | Bristol Creative Industries | Creative England | Policy Advisor
Ash Phillips | Rebellious Co | Start-up Mentor
Nicola Price | Digital Catapult | Strategic Partnerships
We’ll explore how the South West’s unique “open source” culture can foster deeper collaboration between the creative and tech industries. Expect thought-provoking discussions on policy, funding, ethics and inclusion. We’ll also discuss how emerging technologies will impact the creative sector and the role of creativity in future innovations.
You’ll be joined by key figures from the creative industries, including representatives from film & TV, media, design, arts, gaming and music, each bringing their own perspectives to the conversation.
So, come along, be part of this important dialogue, and help set the direction for the South West as a global leader in creative technology. Together, we’ll identify tangible steps to turn vision into action and elevate our region on the world stage.
