Welcome to the Bristol Creative Industries’ network (formerly Bristol Media). Great ideas need company, so join us to make connections, raise your profile and get the work you want.

We are pleased to offer the opportunity to book a free of charge 30 minute 1:2:1 session for people strategy advice, specifically geared towards the needs of creative businesses.

These sessions are an opportunity to ask Richard any questions about your people strategy. These might relate to culture, employee engagement, talent retention or the establishment of best practice HR policies.

Bristol WordPress People are hosting their first live speaking event since reforming at the end of 2024.

The speaker, Matt Stone, is a Developer at Atomic Smash in Bristol, with prior experience as Head of IT / DevOps for a large media and marketing group. He is a CMS Development & Integration Specialist working with PHP, WordPress & WooCommerce for 18 years, as well as Laravel & Statamic.

We are very grateful to Atomic Smash (based at Temple Studios) and to the Temple Studios team (TCN UK) for allowing us to host the Bristol WordPress Meetup with them.

Every year, TMW sends our strategy team out to attend South by Southwest, the world’s biggest technology and arts festival, to learn about the changes that are likely to shape our world and the industry.

But you don’t need to go all the way to Austin, Texas to see we’re living through a period of chaos. The pace of change has become so rapid that predicting the future feels less possible than ever. The models we’ve traditionally relied upon to understand, predict and plan are failing.

There’s vigilantism and lawlessness. Hucksters and quacks. Unprecedented risks and enormous opportunities. You could say: we’re living in the wild, wild west.

Come join our breakfast session to hear the good, the bad and the ugly of SXSW, and our recommendations for how to wrangle the chaos.

Agenda:
08:45 Doors open for breakfast
09:15 Event Start
10:30 Event Finish
