How the Creative Arts are reshaping the future of industry

What happens when businesses work with artists and designers?

This event explores how creative practice can help organisations think differently, respond to complex challenges and develop new forms of innovation. It brings together industry partners, creative practitioners and UAL teams to showcase what becomes possible when creative expertise is placed at the centre of collaboration.

The evening will be a great opportunity to network with organisations across the creative industries and learn more about the support that Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of the Arts can offer to business across the UK.

Speakers and panellists from the creative industries will be discussing the importance of the creative arts in shaping the future of industry, with a drinks and networking session in the evening.
