BIG Creative & Digital Innovation Cluster Summer Networking Reception

Join us on the 11th of July for our Creative and Digital Innovation Cluster Summer Networking Reception. Meet others working in the creative and digital industries from across South London and find out how you can get involved.

It is an exciting time to be working in the creative and digital industries in South London as we come to the end of Croydon’s tenure as London Borough of Culture and look forward to Wandsworth taking up the title in 2025. We will hear from representatives from both boroughs about the role that creative and digital industries play in the cultural life of the region and the London Borough of Culture activities.

You’ll also have the chance to meet the Cluster Leadership Team and to hear about the vision and plans for the next stages in its development. The event will end with an opportunity to network with other members of the cluster and meet academics from across the University of Arts London and Kingston University.

Who can join us at the BIG Creative & Digital Innovation Summer Networking Reception?

Creative and digital businesses, SMEs, sole traders, experts, and graduates from the creative industry and digital tech professions in one of these South London Boroughs: Croydon, Kingston Upon Thames, Merton, Richmond Upon Thames and Sutton.
