Create Local Go Global
Create Local Go Global – Tuesday 26th March 10.00am-1.00pm, Accrington Stanley FC, 1968 Lounge, Livingstone Road, Accrington, BB5 5BX.
A free half-day event for Hyndburn’s creatives and makers who are ready to grow…. hear directly from successful Lancashire entrepreneurs who started locally and went on to build global recognition.
Our key note speaker will be local comedian Tez Ilyas, one of the most celebrated British stars in British comedy. Alongside a fantastic list of panellists which include Wayne Hemmingway MBE, Jamie Holman, Zara Saghir and Zara Neild.
We’ll be exploring:
* Getting beyond your postcode and how to take your creative work further
* Why owning your story matters, using your voice, culture and authenticity to stand out
* What works (and what doesn’t) on social media
* How to embrace AI without losing your identity, and what impact will AI have on the creative sector.
It’s happening in the beautifully refurbished 1968 Lounge at Accrington Stanley and isn’t just a ‘sit-and-watch’ event – you’ll leave with a goody bag, designed by students from East Lancashire Learning Group, as well as practical tips you can use straight away, fresh ideas, and the chance to chat and network with other like-minded creatives.
