Southern Creative Catalyst | MEET in Basingstoke

A relaxed, friendly meet up for creative professionals across Basingstoke and North Hampshire.

MEET is a series of informal, free gatherings for people working in, or curious about, the creative and creative‑tech economy. Think of it as a sociable after‑work drop‑in for designers, marketers, filmmakers, digital innovators, architects, creative technologists and anyone shaping the South’s commercial creative landscape.

No panels. No pitches. No pressure. Just great conversation and genuine connection.

• Meet other creative professionals from the region
• Share challenges, opportunities and ideas
• Explore how we can collectively strengthen the South’s creative economy
• Build connections that may spark future collaborations

This event is hosted by the Southern Creative Catalyst, in partnership with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council.

The Southern Creative Catalyst network brings together the South’s creative industries, from design and marketing to film, production and creative technology to connect, collaborate and champion the world‑class talent across our region.

These events are for anyone working in commercial creative sectors or adjacent creative‑tech roles, or simply curious to connect with the creative community in your area.

Tickets are free, but registration is essential to help us manage capacity.

(If you book but can no longer attend, please cancel so we can offer your place to someone on the waitlist.)

We look forward to welcoming you to Basingstoke for an evening of energy, ideas and meaningful conversations.

This is part of the wider Southern Creative Catalyst series, which includes MEET events focused on community and connection, and MAKE events showcasing creative technology. Join our mailing list and follow us on LinkedIn.

These events are organised by the Southern Creative Catalyst with support from the Venturefest South, the RSA, Hampshire Prosperity Partnership and Creative Network South.
