RSA Creative Catalyst | MAKE

MAKE is an evening of fast-paced flash talks for people working at the intersection of art, technology, and creative business.

Think of it as a show-and-tell for the creative tech-curious: 6 speakers, 6 minutes each. They’ll share something they built, a process they cracked, or an exciting discovery they couldn’t keep to themselves.

Slides are optional. Demos are welcome. Soundscapes, games, XR, AI, experiments and half-finished ideas—bring them on. Whether you want to share your own project or just soak up new, fascinating ideas, this is the room for you.

You just need to be curious. Programmers, designers, artists, students—and anyone who likes to think out loud about creative technology—are all welcome.

Got a project, idea, or experiment to share? Sign up to speak here. Or just come along and explore the world of creative technology by registering for a free ticket by following the link above.

Tickets are free, and the first 40 attendees will receive a free drink, courtesy of Creative Network South. This event is organised by RSA Southampton Network, in collaboration with Creative Network South and VentureFest South.

See you there!
