Beyond Conference 2021

Description

The BEYOND 2021 programme will explore questions and ideas around the theme of Creative Places. Old certainties are breaking down. In places where we used to make things, we must now make decisions. Political centres are paying attention to those on the margins and a place-based agenda is taking hold to drive economic development.

CREATIVE PLACES >> There is a big space opening for the Creative Industries to lead the way with mission-driven research and innovation to reimagine, reinvent and reinvigorate place.BEYOND 2021 will take the theme of place to look at how the Creative Industries are forming the heart of new vibrant cultural and creative economies.

BEYOND will convene Creative Industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, creators and artists to understand:
》How place influences the shape these economies take
》How the success of creative places can be locked in for the long haul
》How we build talent pipelines to meet the ambitions
》The role of imagination, risk-taking and research
》How creative technologies augment and connect places both real and virtual
》The roles of identity and diversity in places and spaces
》How these place-based creative economies link to each other and the wider world
