Be sure to save the date as Bradford Literature Festival becomes a hub of inspiration on Thursday 27 June. The highly anticipated Creative Economic Conference (CEC), hosted at the University of Bradford, is set to gather influential minds from the realms of business, politics, and the creative industries.

CEC speakers will explore how the business and creative sectors can work together to drive innovation, inspire visionary thinking, and grow the economy regionally and nationally in a variety of talks and panel discussions.

Last year, our 2023 line-up of world-class speakers, renowned business icons, influential politicians, and inspiring international figures included Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves; US Attorney General Keith Ellison; CEO of the Royal Society of Arts, Andy Haldane; National Chair of Federation of Small Businesses, Martin McTague; Co-Founder of WeTransfer, Damian Bradfield; CEO of Creative UK, Caroline Norbury; and Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin.

The Creative Economic Conference is a must-attend event whether you are a business or creative sector leader, SME founder, charity, arts organisation, creative practitioner, entrepreneur, freelancer, enterprise coach, councillor, early career graduate or student. The CEC promises to provide unique insights to drive growth, facilitate team development, forge new pathways for collaboration and investment, and expand your professional network.
