Creatives get technology explainer talks

Creative Lancashire is to hold a series of local, interactive events in response to demands from creative businesses to learn more about technology.

Entitled Hyphen, the events will take place over the next few months, with the first, a discussion forum, on 2 July at The Sandbox Centre at the University of Central Lancashire. It is free to attend for anyone in the region working in creative areas, such as design, architecture and photography.

The event will include a panel made up from consultancies which specialise in digital business. A further two events are planned for 23 September and 19 November.

‘The plan is to show creatives how to take advantage of technology by providing case studies they can learn from,’ says a spokeswoman for Creative Lancashire.

Branding for the events has been created by design consultancy The Hub.
