Creative Industries: Place-based Sector Development
The Audience Agency, in partnership with the Creative Industries Council, invites you to join us for this free online event, the third in our ongoing series.
The Place Forum is designed to provide Local and Combined Authority officers, place-based intermediaries and wider industry with strategic insights, actionable knowledge and new connections. In this way, the Forum will support local partners ambitious to accelerate their creative industries development.
This event will focus on how the creative sector can contribute to unlocking economic growth and breaking down barriers to opportunity - looking ahead to local growth plans and further devolution.
What we'll be talking about:
Devolution: Unlocking Local Economic Growth
How can greater powers locally contribute to economic development and breaking down barriers to opportunities?
Creative Clusters and Local Growth Plans
How can local partners ensure the creative sector is recognised within local growth plans? How can local growth plans align with the planned national Industrial Strategy?
