Join the BIMA Creative Council for talks and discussion around the theme of CreativeDNA.
Our new hybrid series of events will see one location host live content, while other fringe events take place across the country.
For our first session, Bristol will host a panel discussion, meanwhile London and Edinburgh will bring the community together to access the streamed content from Bristol and then have their own discussion.
What to expect
Creativity is a part of everyone and thrives in many different roles and walks of life, but it also needs nurturing and put to good use.
Join us as we discuss how creativity is used in different ways and in pursuit of achieving good outcomes. This is a great opportunity to shine a light on different ways of viewing creativity, exploring creativity as a mindset and what that means.
There will also be an element of assessing your own creative DNA through the launch of a diagnostic that helps you better understand where you strengths and weaknesses are — and maybe ignite some to bring creativity into what you do.
