BEYOND 2024
NOVEMBER 25-27
MEDIACITY, SALFORD
City Stories. Influential Leaders. Bold Strategies. Game Plans. Creative Policies.
BEYOND 2024 comes from MediaCity, Salford, where the last decade has seen a transformation of Greater Manchester’s creative economy, now a key part of the north-west’s identity.
This year, we explore the innovative potential of Creative Cities, using MediaCity’s story as a launch pad amidst a new era in UK government.
What makes a world-leading creative city? With compelling stories from the UK and around the world, we’ll explore the building blocks and game plans that have brought creative cities to life.
We’ll hear how innovation can flourish, and how technology will shape future city regions.
We’ll delve into the roles of creative networks, hubs, cultural and research institutions, talent pipelines, networks, policy and culture.
We’ll learn about bold strategies placing creativity at the heart of urban growth, the rise of new creative cities, and how they navigate the challenges of change.
