Tech Wednesday x Creative Arts

Enabling creative futures through tech and diverse communities

For communities to flourish; talent and opportunity at a local level must be - and seen to be - comparatively accessible to all who share in its common interest. This evenings event, along with showcasing local talent will also feature speakers from organisations actively working to develop a legacy where culture, diversity and creativity can thrive.

Following the success of Birmingham's Festival of Culture as part of Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022, now more than ever its important we capture the essence behind its dynamic approach to secure Birmingham's position as a go to destination for innovative creatives.
