Digital Artist & Creative Technologist Meet Up Feb 2024

An informal meet up for creatives who use technology in their creative practice, in whatever form.

We aim to foster an inclusive community of artists, designers, and creative minds who are eager to explore the possibilities of art and technology. Join us for an informal meet up where you can connect with fellow tech enthusiasts and discover potential collaborators.

This event is open to all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you’re a self-taught DIY enthusiast or a part of a cutting-edge production studio, your unique perspective is valued and appreciated.

If you are intrigued by interactive installations, projection mapping, code, virtual reality, cross-disciplinary art and technology and would like to meet other technologists, tinkerers and artists who share your passion, come join us!

Registration required (so we make sure we have enough refreshments for everybody)

 

FAQs

Once everybody has arrived and got to chat to each other informally, one of our team will do an introduction and share resources and further events that might be of use to you.

We will then have short informal demos or presentations by participants and/or invited guests and go with whatever conversations they spark. And then you can carry on chatting to each other.

You will be sent the list of people who are in the room in advance and everyone will have a name badge. If networking is your worst nightmare don’t worry, we will be on hand if you want to be introduced to people or just want someone to chat to before you go and talk to other people.

Simply fill in the expression of interest below.

We’ll send you a reminder and the list of attendees a couple of days before the event.
