Over the past several months we are all aware of the impacts and implications of COVID across global communities and business.
Creative industry has been decimated during this period – one of the first to shut down for health and safety and the last to start reopening – there is a long road ahead for many. Creative business will return but it will be different as business considers practical and sustainable models to move forward and future proof where possible.
Enormous pressure has been experienced across creative practice but also commercial business including the supply chain servicing performance and creative endeavour. It is time to rally across all levels, not just to survive and exist, but to know who we are and where we are going as an industry.
We must as an industry retain our skill, expertise, education and knowledge across all levels of practice and service. We have a place in the future and this is the Why? – ‘The Creative Economy Forum’ – a space for us as an industry to come together to learn, listen and lead in a language that it is open, productive and consolidated.
Reflecting on a year that has significantly impacted creative industry, it is time to look to the future and unearth opportunities to elevate and profile the importance of creativity and culture across Australia. Bernard Salt AM, Managing Director, The Demographics Group, one of Australia’s most sought-after social commentators will share insights – where the industry is positioned and what needs to be considered for the road ahead with a presentation focused on the role of the creative industry in building a better Australia.
Joined by Barrie Cassidy, Political Journalist and former presenter of Insiders, ABC TV’s, a vigorous discussion to dive deep and explore the data, unpack the current state of play, while providing a front seat into the future will be presented.
Presented by The Larrikin Collective, the launch of this annual event will be presented as a virtual platform to reach those in the city to the regions to celebrate creatives, particularly in the wake of such challenging times.
