Hundreds of creative industry professionals are being invited to join a two-day virtual event this month - the only one of its kind in the North of England. The Creative Leaders Festival 2021, organised by GC Business Growth Hub on behalf of The Growth Company, will take place next week from May 25 to 26. More than 70 industry experts from creative, digital and tech industries will be speaking at the event. This year’s expo promises to be even bigger and has been extended to cover more Northern areas. It is open to any creative, digital or tech business, based in the North, operating in fields such as film, TV, photography, design, gaming, fashion, marketing and PR. The event is being supported by Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. It will be opened by Minister of State for Digital and Culture, Caroline Dinenage, at 10am.
