As part of our commitment to members and the Creative, Digital and Tech sector in the North East, Digital Union will release our first Manifesto in April 2018. In order to establish what our members wish us to work towards, campaign for and assist them with, we are running this open space event.

We're inviting member organisations and businesses to attend and discuss the challenges faced in the region that are important to them, as well as potential solutions. Some of the areas we will be discussing include: office/work space, investment, access to talent, skills and business support.

We will ask members to separate into groups and discuss each challenge or topic in turn, collecting thoughts, ideas and solutions. An overview of each will then be shared at the end of the session and next steps discussed in creating the Digital Union Manifesto.

Agenda:

Registration: 8.30

Introductions and idea proposals: 9.00

Session start: 9.30

Session Finish/Feedback: 11.30

Networking: 12.00

Event close: 12.30
