The Platform
What is the Platform?
The Platform is a collaborative partnership between digital and creative businesses and the arts practitioners. The arts need businesses to understand the needs of the society, of the real people in the real world. Businesses need artists to help them to tackle the complex problems our world is currently facing.
The Platform programme aims to give the ideas for creative problem solving a chance to be presented, discussed and tested, and for the collaborations to be formed.
The first part of the day will be dedicated to the talks, presentations and discussions, while in the afternoon the participants will have a chance to do something new – we have a choice of 5 workshops for 2 workshop sessions.
Whether you are an artist, entrepreneur or represent a creative business, you will take back from the Platform not only the fresh ideas and approaches to your work but also a number of valuable contacts.
