We’re just starting out, but this is something we’ve been working on for two years

We’ve been busy getting involved in things like the Birmingham Big City Plan, the Regional Economic Strategy, and other high-level decision making that goes on often behind the scenes.

We want you to join us if you’re in or are interested in the creative or cultural industries, but first we’re working on a package of benefits that you would receive when you become a Creative Republic member.

We’re keen to bring people in the sector together so we’ll be putting together a series of exclusive events featuring exciting speakers, new venues, networking opportunities and much more besides.

Basically, Creative Republic comes down to three things:

• Representation and lobbying
• networking
• commissioning research
