Event details

Creative technologies are increasingly shaping how organisations innovate across sectors including manufacturing, engineering, health, heritage, tourism, construction and digital services.

Join us for the first Creative Technology Discovery Cluster (C3) event, bringing together organisations from across York and North Yorkshire to explore how creative and interactive technologies can create new opportunities for innovation and growth in a wide range of sectors.

What to expect

This interactive afternoon will focus on ideas, insight and collaboration, helping participants explore the practical potential of creative technologies within their own organisations.

The programme includes:

  • A future-focused keynote from Phil Adlam, CTO of Live Lab and Production Park, exploring how creative technologies may develop over the next 15–20 years
  • Facilitated group innovation sessions supporting participants to identify opportunities, challenges and next steps
  • Cross-sector discussion and networking, bringing together SMEs, larger organisations, creative practitioners and innovation leads

Who should attend?

This event is ideal for organisations of all sizes that are curious about innovation and interested in learning from other sectors. No technical expertise is required.
