Coventry and Warwickshire is a hot-bed of creative talent – with notable strengths in gaming, performing arts and media – we want to provide a forum for creatives in Coventry and Warwickshire to meet, find out about one another and discuss issues that might affect your businesses. In Birmingham we have already:

* Created a well-attended public meeting where City Council Leader Mike Whitby outlined the vision for the Birmingham’s future and took feedback from Creative Republic members;
* Established a relationship with Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Industry, leading to a prospective “meet the buyer” event for media and design businesses in the New Year;
* Represented the views of the sector to senior members of the Cabinet when meeting in Birmingham, the BBC Trust, and the Shadow Minister for Culture.

We want to start the conversation with you here in Coventry and would therefore like to invite to you an introductory meeting where you can find out about Creative Republic, our charter and our aspirations. You can tell us what you want to see happen in your sector in your area, and we can start to make relationships with the people who can make a difference.
