Digital Creative Network West

Launch of a new network for those in TV/Film, media, gaming, advertising & the digital creative space in West London

Upstream, West London Business and Creative Enterprise Zone West are excited to invite you to the LAUNCH of the Digital Creative Network West. This new network aims to foster and strengthen relationships between large anchor organisations, startups and academia in West London. We want it to promote collaboration and accelerate innovation between the creative and technology sectors and support our digital creative ecosystem to better compete with emerging hubs. Not only does West London have an incredible history of media and innovation, it also has a competitive advantage, with superior connectivity, major studios, international screen corporates, strong ecosystem and in-demand talent. Organic growth has seen the sector thrive but there is now a need for collaboration between industry, academia and government to address a number of shared priorities around talent, space, innovation and sustainability. Who should come: All those who work in TV/Film, media, gaming, advertising and the digital creative space in West London (or close enough!) - regardless of size of organisation. If you love innovation, care about collaboration, want to solve common challenges and enjoy meeting like-minded creatives, this is the place for you.<h2>The Digital Creative Network speakers: </h2><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnie-keeling-88133ab0/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marnie Keeling</a>, Studio Director at <a href="https://gardenstudios.io/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Garden Studios</a> - Marnie is the founding studio manager at Garden Studios, a new creative hub for learning, research and production with 62,000 sq. ft in Park Royal.An experienced studio manager, she was hand-picked to run Garden Studios as a people focused manager and an enabler of creative processes.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-fowler-3571a65/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rob Fowler</a>, Director of <a href="https://www.bromptontech.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Brompton Tech</a> - Rob has worked in event technology for over 25 years, beginning at an automated lighting manufacturer in technical support before becoming interested in the cross-over between lighting and video.
