Creative England and the Creative Industries Federation are delighted to announce their inaugural joint event, Creative Coalition 2020.

Streaming live across the country, this 3-day virtual festival will explore the future of the UK’s creative landscape. The first festival of its kind, Creative Coalition 2020 will bring together the UK’s creators, makers, leaders and innovators for a unique event comprising virtual live performances, including from leading UK spoken word artist George the Poet, as well as inspiring talks, panels and practical workshops, with speakers including industry leaders Jefferson Hack, Curator & Co-Founder of Dazed Media; Bruce Daisley, Author & Ex-Twitter VP; Elizabeth Diaferia, Senior Advisor at Creative Industries Trade and Investment Board; and Imran Khan, Head of Public Engagement at Wellcome Trust.

This event offers the opportunity for real cross-sector networking using virtual venue software Hopin, with multiple interactive areas that are optimised for connecting and enabling people to meet each other. Attendees can move in and out of rooms just like an in-person event and enjoy the festival content, streamed from venues across the country, directly to ticket-holders at home. You’ll hear from those forging ahead and shaping our futures, and those who built the foundations, with opportunities to meet and collaborate with people across the whole breadth of the UK’s creative sector. Bringing the event together will be writer, broadcaster and the event’s host, Konnie Huq.
